Oceanus Group, Clearwater to pioneer blockchain-based trade finance

The initiative will utilise Oceanus’ AI-powered finance platform, ODIN.

Oceanus Group Limited has announced its collaboration with Clearwater Capital Pte. Ltd., focused on digitising structured trade flows.

The project aims to test a model for tokenising trade flows backed by verifiable cash flows on a blockchain, using Oceanus Group’s AI-driven finance platform, ODIN.

The initiative will examine whether new structuring methods and digital frameworks could be applied to the Group’s operations.

If regulatory requirements and internal approvals allow, the project will look at developing institutional-grade solutions that comply with governance, risk, and reporting standards; improving transparency and reporting of trade and supply chain activity; enhancing capital and operational efficiency; and potentially enabling broader stakeholder participation where appropriate.

Any resulting structures would not give participants ownership, voting rights, or management control over Oceanus Group or its subsidiaries.

Oceanus Group’s existing trade and supply chain operations generate roughly $253m (US$200m) in annual trade flows, primarily short-term, self-liquidating transactions with real-economy counterparties.

These flows are projected to reach around $379.5m (US$300m) in 2026.

The discussions remain at an exploratory and evaluation stage.

No definitive agreements have been entered into, and no fund launch, token issuance, or capital raising has occurred to date.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
