Haycen, a Bermuda-regulated stablecoin liquidity and settlement platform for global trade, has partnered with TradeFlow Capital to develop a new capital framework designed to channel accredited investor liquidity into real-economy trade finance flows.
The structure is designed to facilitate capital allocation into TradeFlow Capital’s existing strategies, enabling broader participation from non-bank capital sources through Haycen’s digital asset-enabled infrastructure. By integrating capital deployment with transaction-level settlement, the model aims to reduce fragmentation and improve the efficiency of capital allocation across global trade flows.
With up to $200 million of initial capacity, the framework is intended to support hybrid capital flows, incorporating Haycen’s native regulated USD stablecoin-based liquidity and settlement alongside traditional financial infrastructure and multiple digital asset service providers. By bridging digital and traditional rails, it enables more efficient movement of capital into trade finance while maintaining compatibility with institutional standards and regulatory frameworks.
TradeFlow Capital’s strategy remains focused on short-duration, asset-backed commodity transactions, where capital is deployed against physical trade flows rather than financial lending. The partnership enhances TradeFlow’s ability to scale this model by accessing additional liquidity channels while maintaining its established investment discipline and risk framework.
The initiative reflects growing demand from institutional investors and family offices seeking access to trade finance as traditional banking capacity continues to retrench. Through this collaboration, Haycen and TradeFlow Capital are working to establish a scalable framework for deploying capital into real-world trade activity.
“This is an important step towards embedding liquidity directly into trade flows,” said Luke Sully, Founder & CEO of Haycen. “By aligning capital deployment with execution, we are beginning to demonstrate how liquidity can be coordinated more efficiently across fragmented markets.”
TradeFlow Capital commented:
“Our partnership with Haycen enables the integration of digital liquidity rails into an already institutional-grade, asset-backed investment framework,” said John Collis, COO of TradeFlow Capital.
“It further enhances our ability to deploy capital efficiently into real-economy trade flows, while maintaining the robustness, discipline, and risk controls that underpin our strategy,” added Dr Tom James, CEO of TradeFlow Capital.
TradeFlow Capital continues to act as the investment and execution engine, while Haycen provides the liquidity coordination and settlement infrastructure supporting the framework, selecting Avalanche as its operating chain of choice. Tradeflow’s digital asset strategy is designed to be interoperable across multiple blockchain and digital asset environments and is administered by Apex Group.
The structure is currently being developed alongside early participants and is expected to support initial deployments across non-bank trade finance and regulated venues globally.
