Brickken Partners With Credefi to Enable Permissionless Lending for Tokenized Real-world Assets

Brickken, the institutional-grade platform powering compliant real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, has announced a new partnership with Credefi, a leading decentralized lending protocol bridging traditional finance and DeFi. Together, the two platforms are enabling a permissionless lending environment for tokenized real-world assets, starting with equity tokens created through Brickken’s infrastructure.

This integration allows users on Credefi to borrow and lend USDC using tokenized assets from the Brickken ecosystem as collateral, a key milestone in advancing DeFi’s utility with real-world value and compliant asset frameworks.

Bridging Traditional Value with DeFi Liquidity

While tokenization platforms solve the complexity of creation, issuance and management of digital assets, accessing liquidity has remained a hurdle for many businesses operating outside centralized frameworks. With this partnership, Brickken and Credefi are providing an alternative: a decentralized, non-custodial, and permissionless lending system that brings real-world value into open finance.

“This collaboration proves that tokenization is not just about creating digital representations of assets, it’s about unlocking utility, liquidity, and autonomy,” said Edwin Mata, CEO of Brickken. “Credefi’s infrastructure empowers token holders to do more than just hold or trade; they can now access decentralized capital markets directly using tokenized assets.”

Through Credefi’s upgraded P2P Lending Platform, participants can structure loan terms, define collateral preferences (including equity tokens issued via Brickken), and engage in fully permissionless lending, all without intermediaries or gatekeepers.

How It Works: A New Model for RWA Lending

Borrowers using the Credefi platform can now:

• Create custom loan requests with tokenized equity as collateral.
• Set terms such as APY, loan size, and duration.
• Lock collateral to activate a request and receive USDC when matched.
• Repay early or on schedule, with interest accruing daily.

For lenders:

• Offer loans based on preferred terms and collateral types.
• Lock USDC to activate offers and earn yield when matched.
• Benefit from partial liquidation mechanisms for risk protection.

This new system is fully decentralized, flexible, and aligned with the core principles of DeFi, while anchored in the legitimacy of tokenized real-world assets.

Accelerating Onboarding with Strategic Marketing Pools

To further support adoption, Credefi and Brickken have launched a 30-day marketing pool, allocating $2,500 in rewards to incentivize early participation. Users who stake and lock eligible tokens in the pool will gain rewards and priority onboarding into Credefi’s lending system.

This initiative serves a dual purpose:

• For users: early access to utility and passive income opportunities.
• For Brickken-based projects: increased exposure, lending adoption, and distribution.
• For the ecosystem: a structured, incentive-driven bridge between tokenization and lending.

Once the pool matures, tokens issued through Brickken will become fully integrated collateral within Credefi’s lending protocol, enabling a new class of DeFi-native financial activity.

Long-Term Vision and Ecosystem Expansion

This partnership fits into Brickken’s broader mission to build an interoperable ecosystem for tokenized asset management, combining issuance, automation, and now decentralized finance capabilities.

“This is just the beginning,” added Mata. “We’re creating an end-to-end experience where businesses can issue tokenized assets, manage them compliantly, and now unlock liquidity in open, decentralized environments, all from one connected ecosystem.”

As part of its roadmap, Brickken will continue to align with protocols, institutions, and marketplaces that enable real-world assets to move freely and compliantly across financial networks. 

“Thanks to Credefi, we’re adding a critical piece to the RWA puzzle: the DeFi layer. While issuance and compliance have matured significantly, DeFi now brings the liquidity layer that real-world assets need to scale. With all three pillars, issuance, compliance, and DeFi finally aligned, the next wave of tokenized asset adoption is ready to take off.” said Ludovico Rossi, CRO of Brickken.

With Brickken Credefi RWA Lending, institutional DeFi reaches a new level of usability—linking tokenized assets to a broader digital finance ecosystem.
