Secured Finance AG

Based in Zug, Switzerland, and founded in 2020, Secured Finance AG operates as an institutional-grade peer-to-peer transaction platform with built-in mark-to-market processes and automatic collateral management. As of 2022, Masa Kikuchi is the founder and CEO of the company. In July 2021, Secured Finance AG raised USD 4 million in seed funding from FinTech Collective, GSR, HOF Capital, Huobi Ventures, and Protocol Labs, Inc. The company provides an interbank-grade financial transaction platform with automatic collateral management and mark-to-market mechanisms.

The firm's platform allows users to lend and borrow digital assets with higher interest rates and returns for Filecoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and USDC; conduct cross-currency swaps, which diversify users' portfolios for up to 7% carry trade returns and hedge strategies; and engage in cross-chain FX trading, which allows users to trade large volumes with minimal slippage, trusted counterparties, and secure cross-chain settlement. Secured Finance's clients include Protocol Labs, Ipfsmain, DataLine, Chainpion, and more. The organization plans to use the July 2021 funding to grow its team and secure regulatory approval and legal compliance for its platform across jurisdictions globally.
