Galaxy Digital has closed its first tokenized collateralized loan obligation (CLO), bringing private credit onto blockchain infrastructure.

The deal, known as Galaxy CLO 2025-1, was issued on Avalanche and has financed roughly $75 million in loans so far, according to a Thursday announcement. The transaction is anchored by a $50 million allocation from Grove, an institutional credit protocol within the Sky ecosystem, formerly known as MakerDAO.

“By uniting our strengths in debt capital markets, blockchain technology, and asset management, we’re opening a new avenue for institutional engagement in credit markets—one that benefits from greater efficiency, transparency, and expanded collateral flexibility through onchain execution,” Chris Ferraro, president and chief investment officer at Galaxy, said.

Galaxy said the CLO is designed to support its lending operations through an uncommitted credit facility extended to Arch Lending, a crypto lending platform backed by Galaxy Ventures. Arch issues consumer loans that are overcollateralized with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH). Money from the CLO is used to buy these loans as they are created, with the program able to grow to $200 million over time.

Galaxy’s tokenized CLO to trade on INX platform

Crypto trading platform INX issued the CLO’s bonds and put them on the blockchain. The tokens are expected to be listed on INX’s platform for approved investors. The safest portion of the CLO pays interest at a rate tied to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, plus 5.7%, matures in December 2026 and makes monthly payments, per the announcement.

Galaxy’s internal teams handled the structuring and blockchain setup, while Galaxy Asset Management oversees the product.

Anchorage Digital Bank acts as trustee and custodian, tracking collateral and settlements in real time using its blockchain infrastructure. Galaxy also partnered with Accountable, a data platform that lets investors continuously monitor loan performance and collateral backing the CLO.

Stablecoins to overtake ACH payments in 2026: Galaxy

In a recent report, Galaxy Research, the research arm of Galaxy Digital, predicted that stablecoins could handle more transaction volume than the US Automated Clearing House system as early as 2026. The firm noted that stablecoins already process more transactions than major card networks like Visa and now account for roughly half of ACH transaction volume.

Galaxy said stablecoin supply has been growing at a 30%–40% annual rate, with transaction activity rising alongside issuance.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
