ZIG Markets structures USD1 RWA Vault on Solana for cross-border settlement finance, solving liquidity funding costs through onchain capital.
Tech & Launches ·
ZIG Markets has structured a real-world asset vault on Solana that targets a gap in cross-border payment infrastructure: the cost of maintaining settlement liquidity across markets. ZIG Markets by ZIGChain, a licensed financial services provider, has launched this allocation within Concrete's USD1 Vault, offering short-duration exposure to settlement finance opportunities. Money transfer operators typically need capital positioned in destination markets before underlying payment flows fully settle, making liquidity funding a significant operational expense; channeling onchain capital toward that demand creates a yield-bearing structure for USD1 holders.
The vault allocates capital through a segregated, controlled structure with activity recorded onchain. ZIG Markets originates and curates the cross-border settlement opportunities, while Concrete provides infrastructure and USD1 serves as both capital and settlement asset. The initial USD1 Vault portfolio also includes opportunities from Qiro, Colb, and Origin Assets across private credit and infrastructure financing.
Access is limited to whitelisted, eligible participants in permitted jurisdictions. No yield is guaranteed, and the underlying opportunities carry credit, counterparty, and principal loss risks.
