Trad.Fi announced in June 2026 that it is bringing up to $650 million in private credit on-chain over 48 months, with programmable treasury infrastructure provided by W3.io.
Trad.Fi is an equipment finance platform for U.S. small and mid-sized businesses that compresses credit decisions from weeks or months to a single business day using algorithmic underwriting.
W3.io is the operating system for autonomous finance, aggregating payments, custody, compliance, settlement, and storage into a single execution layer on programmable rails.
W3's Control layer issues a Programmable Credit Record (PCR) for every tokenized loan, an independent on-chain receipt demonstrating proof-of-collateral that lenders can read in real time.
The program's workflows and PCRs run on Avalanche, and capital in W3's vault earns yield continuously until a loan is ready to fund.
U.S. equipment finance is a $1.3 trillion industry in which 82 percent of end-users finance their equipment acquisitions, yet fintechs account for only 7 percent of financed volume.
The Federal Reserve indicates C&I delinquencies run below 2 percent and industry charge-off rates below 1 percent, making equipment finance some of the most predictable credit in the country.
The tokenized RWA market grew 266 percent in 2025, and private credit has become the largest non-stablecoin RWA segment at roughly 44 percent of on-chain value.
