IXS Launches Tokenized Private Credit Offering with Funding Societies

March 11, 2026 - IXS today announced the launch of a tokenized private credit offering featuring Funding Societies, Southeast Asia’s largest SME digital financing platform. The deal is structured as a private credit offering and will be available to accredited investors on the IXS platform.

The offering provides investors with access to short duration private credit exposure linked to SME lending activity across Southeast Asia, a segment that has historically been difficult to access through traditional capital markets.

Channeling Capital Into the Real Economy

Proceeds from the placement will be used to expand Funding Societies’ SME loan book, support working capital, revolving credit facilities, trade finance, and short term loans for businesses across Southeast Asia. These loans are typically extended to SMEs with healthy cash flows and annual revenues of up to USD 20 million, a segment that remains underserved by traditional banks. 

This offering is launched in association with FS Capital Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based subsidiary of the Funding Societies Group, and is structured as an unsecured loan with a minimum tenor of six months. 

What Investors Can Expect

The product is designed for investors seeking yield exposure backed by diversified SME lending activity. It offers a way to participate in regional SME growth through a private credit instrument that is closely tied to operating businesses rather than market-driven asset price movements. Additionally, the focus on short-duration lending may offer clearer cash flow visibility compared to longer-dated private credit strategies. 

Investors can expect indicative returns from 6% to 9% per annum, subject to final allocation terms. 

Julian Kwan, CEO of IXS commented: “Our partnership with Funding Societies is a definitive step toward our North Star: becoming the sovereign settlement layer where autonomous and institutional capital can finally interact with regulated real-world assets at scale. By tokenizing this private credit offering, we aren't just bridging the $30 trillion agentic commerce market with SME lending; we are providing the essential licensed 'hands' that allow both human and AI-native investors to legally access high-velocity, real economy yield. This launch is a critical driver for the IXS ecosystem, proving that when you combine battle-tested compliance with machine-speed settlement, you unlock an entirely new universe of transaction volume that fuels our programmatic Buy & Burn engine.” 

Kelvin Teo, CEO of Funding Societies added, “We have known the IXS team for years. Tokenizing private credit offering is a major step to driving further financial innovation, investment access and SME financial inclusion. We’re excited to work with IXS, as the FinTech sector matures, evolves and moves mainstream.”

Protocol & Ecosystem Impact

Every institutional offering on the IXS platform is designed to drive value back into the core ecosystem. Fees generated contribute directly to the IXS programmatic buy & burn engine. This mechanism ensures that as institutional and agentic transaction volume scales, token scarcity increases in parallel. With nearly one million tokens already removed from circulation, this launch serves as a key driver in surpassing the 1,000,000 $IXS burn milestone this year.
