About
Our collaborative efforts secured critical partnerships with SG Forge, Canton Network, and major credit rating agencies while raising seed funding from 7Ridge.
The Challenge
Current digital asset solutions expose institutions to unacceptable risks through:
Lack of bankruptcy-remote structures
Operational vulnerabilities from unrated counterparties
Absence of institutional-grade governance standards
Regulatory uncertainty around existing stablecoin frameworks
The market needed a digital collateral product that could meet the stringent risk requirements of wholesale financial institutions while enabling 24/7 instant settlement.
The Solution
Together, we are developing a senior secured digital debt token that combines:
Technical Innovation:
98% senior debt tranche backed by US Treasury Bills
2% overcollateralization providing first-loss protection
Bankruptcy-remote structure isolating assets from counterparty risk
Integration with Canton Network for enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure
Strategic Positioning:
Rule 144A securities framework for regulatory clarity
Investment-grade rating pursuit with S&P and Moody's
Partnership with SG Forge as broker-dealer and transfer agent
Programmable collateral for derivatives, repos, and margin accounts
Implementation
Through our collaboration, USIG achieved several critical milestones:
Secured Strategic Partnerships:
Established partnership with SG Forge (second US project on their platform)
Configured for Canton Network with dedicated validator node
Engaged two major rating agencies for credit ratings
Developed Use Cases:
Programmable collateral (SAM: $100-200 billion)
Digital asset settlement infrastructure ($10-15 billion)
Institutional instant cash solutions ($8-12 billion)
Raised Seed Capital:
7Ridge as anchor investor
Future Vision
USIG is positioning to become the foundational collateral infrastructure for institutional digital asset markets, targeting $1 billion in initial issuance, scaling to several trillion dollars in volume. The platform will enable banks, asset managers, and market makers to utilize high-quality digital collateral across derivatives, repos, and securities lending.
