■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 1 SOURCE BELOW

Flow Capital Partners will offer its $150 million private credit fund on a Singapore-based blockchain platform by month end, becoming one of the first Asian managers to leverage stablecoin liquidity for institutional credit.

The move marks a significant shift in how private credit reaches institutional investors in Asia. By tokenizing the fund on blockchain infrastructure, Flow Capital gains access to growing stablecoin pools while maintaining regulatory compliance through its Singapore base. Private credit funds have traditionally relied on traditional banking channels and institutional networks. Blockchain deployment enables faster settlement, reduced intermediaries, and direct access to digital liquidity sources. The fund targets institutional investors seeking yield in the region's credit markets. Stablecoin adoption among institutional players has accelerated, providing alternative funding mechanisms beyond traditional banking. Flow Capital joins a small cohort of Asian asset managers experimenting with blockchain-based fund distribution. The Singapore regulatory environment has become increasingly favorable for digital asset offerings, supporting infrastructure development for institutional blockchain finance. No details were provided regarding minimum investments, fee structures, or the specific blockchain platform's identity beyond its Singapore location.
