what's cicada partners?

Cicada Partners is a DeFi-focused company specializing in institutional stablecoin financing and real-world asset (RWA) lending solutions. They bridge traditional finance with blockchain by providing secure lending protocols that tokenize risk assessments and ensure transparency through distributed ledger technology. Their services target institutional players seeking to deploy capital into high-yield, collateralized opportunities in emerging markets. The platform facilitates the financing of real-world receivables, such as pre-sold property loans in Southeast Asia, by integrating stablecoins into DeFi vaults. This enables borrowers to access liquidity while lenders earn yields backed by verifiable assets. Cicada emphasizes compliance and risk management, using on-chain analytics to monitor loan performance and mitigate defaults. Through partnerships with protocols like Clearpool and networks like Plume, Cicada expands access to credit in underserved sectors, promoting financial inclusion via blockchain infrastructure. Their model supports short-term, stable funding mechanisms that align with regulatory standards in the crypto space.

Cicada Partners backs Beyond Tech as an investor, alongside Animoca Brands and other ventures.
