  • Consumer auto loans can now exist as real-time, investable, blockchain-based real-world assets (RWAs), openly accessible to qualified market participants for the first time

    60% confidence
  • This achievement represents a structural transformation in auto finance. Auto loans are no longer confined to closed balance sheets traditionally held and managed inside financial institutions. Bringing them on-chain enables transparency, intelligence, and broader participation—while supporting smarter, more profitable consumer loan originations.

    60% confidence
  • Agora Data has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation—launching the industry's first asset-pooled non-prime auto securitization in 2020 and the first to bring U.S. auto loans on-chain as tokenized real-world assets

    60% confidence
  • Public availability is a defining characteristic for blockchain-based capital markets. Agora's underwriting rigor, data discipline, and independent asset review capabilities support investor confidence. Auto loans are a compelling expansion of blockchain-enabled structured finance, grounded in real-world performance.

    60% confidence
