The post Galaxy Digital Closes $75 Million Tokenized CLO on Avalanche appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

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. The CLO is issued on Avalanche.
