Oceanus Group and Clearwater Capital Collaborate on Blockchain Trade Flow Tokenisation
Oceanus Group and Clearwater Capital Pioneer Verifiable Blockchain Tokenisation in Trade Flows via ODIN
Key Highlights
- Strategic Collaboration: Oceanus Group Limited has entered into a partnership with Clearwater Capital Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based fund management company, to explore verifiable tokenisation of trade flows on blockchain through ODIN, Oceanus Group’s proprietary AI-powered finance technology platform.
- Innovative Tokenisation Approach: The initiative targets the tokenisation of cash flows and transaction states (origination, drawdown, repayment, settlement) using independent verification and on-chain records, setting itself apart from typical token projects by focusing on real-economy trade flows and institutional-grade transparency.
- Scale and Credibility: Oceanus Group’s trade flows currently amount to approximately USD 200 million annually, with a forecast to reach USD 300 million in 2026. The collaboration is supported by Clearwater Capital for structuring and investment management evaluation.
- Enhanced Transparency and Efficiency: The digitisation framework aims to make selected trade flows institution-ready, increasing transparency, auditability, and reporting discipline, while improving capital and operating efficiency without altering ownership or control of the Group’s operating businesses.
- Regulatory Considerations: Clearwater Capital, regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, will provide regulated services and ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements as the initiative evolves.
- Exploratory Status: The partnership is currently at the exploratory and evaluation stage. No definitive agreements, fund launches, token issuance, or capital raising have occurred to date.
Management Commentary
Mr. Peter Koh, CEO of Oceanus Group: “ODIN already digitises our cross-border trade workflows. This initiative could take the next step, creating an institutional-grade ‘on-chain transaction truth layer’ where key transaction states are independently verifiable. If successful, it can strengthen governance and reporting and shorten verification cycles, while maintaining discipline in risk management and compliance.”
Mr. Liu SM, Investment Director at Clearwater Capital: “Supply Chain transactions are characterised by predictable factors such as short tenors and self-liquidating structures. The prospect of tokenizing the value chain lies in its ability to transform how value is created, exchanged, and scaled—unlocking exponential development opportunities across markets.”
Scope of the Initiative
- Evaluation of enhanced structuring and digitalisation frameworks for Oceanus Group’s business activities.
- Potential benefits include:
- Development of institutional-grade solutions adhering to governance, risk, and reporting frameworks.
- Greater transparency and reporting of trade and supply chain flows.
- Improved capital and operating efficiency for selected business activities.
- Broader stakeholder participation, where appropriate.
- Any tokenised structures will not confer ownership, voting, or management rights in Oceanus Group or its subsidiaries.
Regulatory and Tokenisation Considerations
- Clearwater Capital will provide regulated services and advisory support, ensuring regulatory compliance.
- Initiative remains exploratory; no fund launch, token issuance, or capital raising has occurred.
Potential Impact for Shareholders
- Price Sensitivity: While the initiative is at an early, exploratory stage, its successful implementation could significantly improve transparency, governance, and efficiency in Oceanus Group’s business operations. This could attract institutional capital, enhance operational discipline, and potentially unlock new growth avenues, all of which may positively impact share value in the future.
- No Immediate Capital Raising: Shareholders should note that no definitive agreements, fundraising, or token issuance have been made as of this announcement. Any material developments will be disclosed in accordance with SGX-ST Listing Rules.
- Risks: As the initiative is subject to regulatory approval and internal evaluation, there are inherent uncertainties. Shareholders should monitor future announcements for updates that may be materially price sensitive.
