The collaboration connects Huma's stablecoin liquidity network with compliant issuance tools to provide yield opportunities for decentralized finance users. TradeFlow has generated returns from commodities trade finance for eight years across 25 markets.

Why It Matters: Institutional Access
Commodity trade represents 25% of global trade volume at $4.5 trillion annually, creating demand for blockchain-based access to these markets.
Erbil Karaman, co-founder and co-CEO at Huma Finance, said the network has grown to more than 100,000 liquidity providers since 2022 by targeting institutional-grade yield opportunities uncorrelated to crypto markets.
"Partnering with Obligate and TradeFlow enables Huma to provide stablecoin liquidity to this ecosystem in a scalable and compliant way," Karaman said.
Obligate upgraded its platform with yield-accruing products called eTrackers to enhance compatibility with blockchain platforms. Matthias Wyss, CEO at Obligate, said the partnership aims to enhance transparency and efficiency in capital markets while delivering institutional-grade decentralized finance products.
Dr. Tom James, co-founder, CEO and chief investment officer at TradeFlow, said the firm has worked with Obligate since 2023 on asset-backed deals. The collaboration strengthens the blockchain pathway for delivering returns from global trade flows, James said.
