Blockchain financial company Fence completes $20 million financing, led by Galaxy Digital

According to CoinDesk, Galaxy Digital led a $20 million financing round for fintech company Fence, with participation from Parafi Capital and Crane Ventures. Fence plans to utilize blockchain, smart contracts, and tokenization technology to transform the backend processes of the $6 trillion asset-backed finance market.

This round of financing will primarily be used for Fence's expansion in the U.S. market and product development. Reports indicate that a large number of structured credit transactions still rely on manual processes such as Excel, PDF, and email to complete loan tracking, collateral verification, and cash flow processing, which are inefficient and have limited transparency. Fence aims to achieve real-time data updates and automated settlements through a unified system.

It is reported that Fence obtains loan data via API and uses smart contracts to automatically execute payments and cash flow distribution once conditions are met. Additionally, the company can tokenize loan shares within financing vehicles, allowing investors to transfer positions, collateralize financing, or automatically receive payments.

Currently, the Fence platform manages approximately $1.5 billion in assets, with partner institutions including BBVA, BlackRock, and Fortress Investment Group. The company states that compared to the traditional processing cycle of several months, its system can complete new transaction launches within weeks.
