FIS and Intain Launch Avalanche Blockchain Marketplace for Loan Securitization
The AVAX-based Digital Liquidity Gateway enables regional banks to tokenize loans as NFTs, settle with stablecoins, and access institutional investors, aiming to modernize credit markets with onchain infrastructure.
Financial technology provider FIS and structured finance platform Intain have unveiled Digital Liquidity Gateway, a blockchain-powered marketplace built on Avalanche to help regional and community banks securitize and sell loans directly to institutional investors. The platform tokenizes each loan as a non-fungible token (NFT) backed by verified loan data, automates settlements—including via stablecoins like USDC—and integrates with FIS’s core banking systems supporting over 20,000 institutions. It aims to remove intermediaries in asset-backed finance, increase transparency, and accelerate capital flows. Initial transactions will include loan pools tied to commercial real estate and aviation finance, with hundreds of millions of dollars in deals expected by year-end.
