Ozean, the blockchain designed to support real-world asset (RWA) yields and launched by the decentralized finance (DeFi) credit pool platform Clearpool, has announced a strategic partnership with HELIX, a tokenized fixed-income platform.
Built on the Optimism network with an 11.4% yield and powered by Clearpool’s CPOOL token, Ozean is a permissionless Ethereum layer-2 platform focused on accelerating the future of on-chain private credit.
The collaboration with HELIX is central to Ozean’s mission to achieve this goal. HELIX specializes in providing institutional-grade RWA opportunities through the tokenization of private credit and fixed-income assets. Together, Clearpool and HELIX have managed nearly $1 billion in tokenized private credit. Since its launch in March 2022, Clearpool has originated over $640 million in loans, with notable clients including Jane Street, Wintermute, and CoinShares.
HELIX has facilitated over $375 million in off-chain disbursements across Southeast Asia. This partnership aims to bring the next $100 million worth of private credit on-chain.
To further its efforts, Ozean and HELIX will leverage Hex Trust, a platform that helps investment funds and family offices transition their capital onto the blockchain, unlocking access to traditional finance markets.
“By integrating with Ozean’s RWA-focused blockchain, HELIX is able to extend its rigorously managed credit offerings to a broader DeFi ecosystem, bringing sustainable yield opportunities to investors and bridging traditional finance with decentralized markets in transformative new ways.”
Jitendra Singh Jaitawat, chief executive officer of HELIX
The private credit market is experiencing rapid growth and is expected to reach $2.8 trillion by 2028, making this collaboration between Ozean and HELIX a highly strategic opportunity for both projects. As the demand for tokenized private credit continues to rise, the partnership positions them to capture a significant share of this expanding market.
