[PRESS RELEASE \u2013 Dubai, UAE, December 8th, 2025]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Follows first-of-its-kind pilot run with Franklin Templeton, Zodia Custody, Avalanche, and CMS demonstrates enforceable bilateral credit within digital assets custody
\nDebut at Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025 showcases a breakthrough in institutional credit infrastructure<\/p>\n

SemiLiquid<\/a>, a custody-native infrastructure layer for institutional credit, today announced the launch of its Programmable Credit Protocol (PCP) at Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025. The groundbreaking infrastructure enables institutions to activate credit against digital and tokenized assets held in custody \u2013 without transferring collateral, marking a critical advancement in the evolution of digital capital markets. Developed and launched in Abu Dhabi, the protocol is now planned to be rolled out globally, underscoring the emirate\u2019s rise as a leading hub for digital assets and a launchpad for\u00a0financial innovation.<\/p>\n

The launch is backed by a successful pilot conducted with Franklin Templeton, Zodia Custody, Avalanche, Presto Labs, M11 Credit, Oasis Foundation & CMS. As part of the pilot, Franklin Templeton\u2019s daily-yielding tokenized money-market fund, BENJI, was used as collateral, which remained encumbered throughout the loan lifecycle, under pre-agreed terms and automated triggers. This simulated proof-of-concept allowed institutions to retain full daily yield while granting lenders enforceable security over the assets \u2013 eliminating counterparty risk without any collateral movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cProgrammable assets require programmable credit,\u201d said Rico van der Veen<\/strong><\/a>, Co-Founder and CEO of <\/strong>SemiLiquid<\/strong>.<\/strong> \u201cPCP delivers the missing rail that institutions need \u2013 a standardized, custody-native & shared legal framework that merges the trust of traditional finance with the efficiency of programmable assets. This marks a shift from incremental upgrades to foundational infrastructure for institutional credit. Abu Dhabi Global Market\u2019s environment has enabled us to develop our solution within a risk-aware framework optimized for digital asset innovation. \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSemiLiquid\u2019s PCP brings together innovative industry leaders in an effort to address the inefficiencies in institutional credit,\u201d said Anoosh Arevshatian, Chief Product Officer at Zodia Custody. <\/strong>\u201cThrough our participation, Zodia Custody hopes to establish custodial infrastructure as the trust layer for scalable and programmable credit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cProgrammable credit demonstrates how institutional lending can operate natively within custody without compromising enforceability, compliance, or settlement speed. Avalanche\u2019s high-performance, institutional-grade infrastructure, combined with SemiLiquid\u2019s programmable credit protocol, creates a clear path to scaling institutional adoption \u2013 developed in a region that has become a launchpad for next-generation on-chain financial markets,\u201d said Khalid Dannish, Head of MENA at Ava Labs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPrivate credit is going digital, and this pilot proves how it can be done legally and compliantly,\u201d said Matthew Nyman, Digital Assets Lead at CMS<\/strong>. \u201cCMS is proud to support the infrastructure bringing automated, custody-native credit to institutional markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

While tokenised assets are projected to reach $10 trillion by 2030<\/a>, credit infrastructure has remained trapped in legacy workflows. More than 70% of institutional bilateral financing still involves bespoke, deal-by-deal paperwork & collateral transfers across fragmented accounts and systems, creating counterparty risk and friction that prevent tokenized assets from functioning as scalable, financeable collateral.<\/p>\n

SemiLiquid\u2019s pilot has shown that the technology & legal framework is mature and institutions are ready. The company is advancing to Phase II, launching in early 2026, which will expand integrations across additional custodians, collateral types, and jurisdictions. Future capabilities will include under-collateralized lending supported by verified solvency attestations & and a unified framework for enforceability across markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cCredit is the lifeblood of capital markets,\u201d added Rico van der Veen<\/strong>, Co-Founder and CEO of <\/strong>SemiLiquid<\/strong>. \u201cWith PCP, programmable credit has arrived \u2013 and it\u2019s ready for institutional deployment.\u201d<\/p>\n
