Deploi Launches Digital Debt Issuance Framework on Polygon

STOCKHOLM & RIGA — May 14, 2026 — Deploi, the institutional infrastructure layer for digital private credit, today announced the launch of its direct issuance framework on Polygon, following ISIN allocations from Nasdaq CSD for its inaugural UK Consumer Credit Notes.

The first issuance, Series 2026/CON/001, enables regulated digital debt issuance for consumer credit assets, with individual notes of up to EUR 5 million. The issuance forms part of Deploi’s EUR 1 billion note programme for 2026, with planned expansion capacity of up to EUR 5 billion following the expected completion of its global issuance infrastructure by the end of Q3 2026.

Approximately EUR 100 million in additional issuance volume through Assetera is already lined up over the next six months, reflecting early institutional demand for regulated, blockchain-native private credit products.

Deploi’s infrastructure is designed to modernize the operational backbone of private credit by replacing slow, manual fund structures with programmable issuance, settlement, servicing, and risk-management infrastructure.

“The legacy private credit model is operationally outdated,” said Oskars Jepsis, Founder of Deploi. “Investors and lending partners increasingly expect faster execution, greater transparency, and more flexible access to credit opportunities. Deploi is building the infrastructure to replace fragmented, manual processes with scalable digital issuance and settlement rails purpose-built for modern private credit markets.”

Deploi’s issuance and registry infrastructure is anchored on EVM-compatible chains, with Polygon serving as the initial settlement layer ahead of planned expansion to Canton Network infrastructure.

The notes are issued and settled through Assetera, the EU-regulated DLT trading platform licensed under the MiFID II framework, enabling compliant access for European investors.

"Private credit has long been inaccessible to most European investors due to structural barriers — high minimums, opacity, and illiquidity. By providing the regulated infrastructure for Deploi's instruments, Assetera removes those barriers while maintaining full MiFID II compliance. This partnership demonstrates precisely what regulated DLT infrastructure makes possible: institutional-grade yield products, compliantly distributed at scale across Europe," said Thomas Labenbacher, CEO of Assetera.

“Private credit is a massive market, but it still runs on outdated infrastructure. What Deploi is doing with direct issuance and bringing this onchain with Polygon is a clear step toward making these markets more efficient, transparent, and easier to access for institutional participants.” Marc Boiron, CEO at Polygon Labs.
