New pool exclusive to institutional lenders from Maven 11

This week Maven 11 opened a third credit pool on Maple, exclusive to whitelisted institutional lenders and borrowers. Soon $40M will be issued to a diversified set of profitable trading firms on-chain, providing the transparent risk-adjusted yield opportunities lenders seek.

Across two existing pools and ~$500M loans issued Maven 11 maintains a 100% clean loan book so is perfectly positioned to offer a new yield opportunity for institutional lenders, in turn providing timely credit lines to market-making borrowers. Due to a pull-back from CeFi lenders, rates are higher than before the credit crunch.

Loans will be issued to a diversified set of borrowers with a spotless on-chain credit history. Flow Traders, a leading global market maker, borrow for the first time.

Expertise, borrower set & the built-in transparency of Maple have provided large institutional lenders Gadze Finance, Aqru and Qredo with the confidence to lend $40M at launch. All completed KYC/AML to lend into the pool.

To ensure security and operating efficiency, the pool is created and managed using Qredo's decentralized Multi-Party Computation tech that takes custody of the digital assets on a decentralized network. Qredo solidifies the partnership by allocating $2M at launch.

The launch event will include detail on the borrower set with a spotlight on Flow Traders, a deep-dive into Maven's underwriting process and an update on their other pools.

Across Maple, we've onboarded Merit Circle, Pickle, and Rook as lenders into pools and will continue to provide a suitable DAO treasury management venue for teams in the space.
