Online investment platform Eight Percent has partnered with the blockchain platform Kaia to establish an investment infrastructure based on real-world assets (RWA) derived from domestic loan receivables. This initiative aims to create pathways for foreign investors to invest in Korean financial assets, enhancing global accessibility to the domestic alternative investment market.
On June 2, Eight Percent announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Kaia to develop the RWA investment infrastructure based on the rights to receive principal and interest from domestic loan receivables.
The agreement is part of a 'cross-border financing project' that connects Eight Percent's domestic loan receivables with Kaia's global investor network. The core objective is to establish new investment channels that can attract foreign capital into the domestic asset market.
Through this collaboration, the two companies plan to facilitate easier access for global investors to Korean financial assets, thereby increasing the potential for capital inflows into the domestic investment market. They also intend to gradually expand the scale of investments and the types of asset classes involved.
Song Bo-geun, head of Eight Percent, stated, "Our goal is to create an environment where global investors can easily access high-quality loan receivable assets in Korea. We aim to establish an investment gateway that allows foreign capital to steadily flow into assets based on the real economy in Korea."
Hwan Lee, team leader at Kaia, added, "We expect this project to set a meaningful precedent for connecting Korean real assets with global investors."
