TechFlow, November 11 — According to CoinDesk, financial technology provider FIS and structured finance platform Intain have announced the launch of a "Digital Liquidity Gateway" platform built on the Avalanche blockchain. The platform enables regional and community banks to securitize loans and sell them directly to institutional investors, bypassing traditional intermediaries.
Core features include converting loans into non-fungible tokens (NFTs), supporting automated settlements via stablecoins including USDC, and seamless integration with FIS's core banking systems serving over 20,000 clients globally. Intain's AI engine verifies documents prior to NFT minting to ensure data accuracy.
The platform has begun onboarding banks and investors and is expected to process hundreds of millions of dollars in loan transactions by year-end, initially focusing on loan pools related to commercial real estate and aviation finance.
John Omahen, Head of Digital Assets at FIS, said: "Smaller banks are often disconnected from most capital market liquidity. We're creating a platform where assets meet demand, enabling capital to flow more efficiently."
