São Paulo & Singapore – Brazil's leading tokenisation platform, AmFi Finance, has entered a strategic partnership with Helix, an award-winning real-world asset tokenisation platform, to launch the first-ever tokenised private-credit initiative connecting Latin America and Asia.
The partnership, facilitated by Onigiri Capital, aims to link Asia's institutional capital with Brazil's rapidly expanding private-credit market through compliant, blockchain-enabled infrastructure.
With real interest rates in Brazil at an all-time high, the collaboration marks a milestone in uniting two of the world's most dynamic regions for financial innovation - Latin America and Southeast Asia.
Brazil: The Next Frontier for Tokenised Private Credit
This partnership follows the release of a landmark report, Project Aurora: Brazil's Asset Tokenisation Opportunity, which highlights how Brazil's private credit market represents a $2 trillion opportunity, underpinned by one of the world's most advanced financial infrastructures and a progressive regulatory framework that has embraced tokenisation.
Despite Brazil's highly digitised financial system, access to credit remains concentrated among a few large banks, leaving small and medium-sized enterprises underserved. Tokenisation offers a technological leap to address these structural frictions.
A Shared Vision: Connecting Capital and Impact
For AmFi, the partnership with Helix extends its mission to bridge local credit origination with global capital. The platform already works with a network of qualified originators across Brazil to tokenise receivables-backed assets, providing liquidity to fintechs and private credit managers in Brazil while creating diversified exposure opportunities for investors.
Helix's participation brings Asian capital into this ecosystem through a compliant and transparent framework that advances financial inclusion.
"The future of finance is about building bridges between regions that share the same challenges and opportunities," said Jitendra Singh Jaitawat, CEO of Helix. "Through this collaboration, AmFi and Helix are creating a new chapter in global private credit, demonstrating how tokenisation can expand access, transparency, and inclusion across emerging markets."
