Polytrade is a real-world asset (RWA) protocol, one of the only asset originators in DeFi bringing sustainable yields and easy access to RWA. Polytrade's core innovations around ERC-6960 and asset tokenization power Polytrade's RWA Marketplace, where individuals and institutions can discover, invest, earn, and exit RWA assets from different asset originators as well as on-chain protocols, from a single application. For the first time, the RWA Marketplace will bring together trade finance, equities, T-bills, structured finance, and real estate under one roof and allow these assets to be interoperable and DeFi-ready through ERC-6960. Apart from the marketplace, Polytrade also runs a trade finance company that invests in high-quality, credit-insured receivables. Unlike RWA lenders and marketplaces, this makes Polytrade one of the only native asset originators in DeFi. In just a year, Polytrade has tokenized over 200 invoices and funded close to $4M in invoices. Polytrade is backed by marquee investors Alpha Wave (VC backed by the sovereign wealth fund of Abu Dhabi), Matrix Partners, and Polygon Ventures. Polytrade’s core team brings deep domain experience from J.P. Morgan, Soc Gen, PayU, Securrency, and Fantom and has spent 10+ years in the trade finance industry as entrepreneurs, having advised on more than $500M worth of trade finance deals. Polytrade has been covered by Techcrunch, CNBC, and the Economic Times. The CEO, Piyush Gupta, has been facilitated by the Times, the Print, and the Indian Government and has delivered multiple keynotes as well as a TEDx lecture.
