The companies described the work in a [Google Cloud Blog post](https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/financial-services/how-nammu21-automates-syndicated-loans-on-google-cloud-universal-ledger) published November 4, 2026.\n\n## How the Nammu21 Loan Model Works\n\n[Nammu21](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00009cu/nammu21) renders each facility's governing terms as a Digital Credit Instrument, mapping conditions, consents, eligibility criteria and operational mechanics back to the originating legal provision. The platform then derives contracts in gculpy, which the post describes as a strict, statically typed subset of Python, and instantiates them on [Google Cloud](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000d34/google-cloud)'s permissioned distributed ledger.\n\nIn the modeled transaction, one segment of a broader multi-facility deal, the agent bank, borrower, transferor and transferee worked from a permissioned view of the same on-ledger rendering. Onboarding requires each participant to approve an invitation from its own interface, and the agent bank records an immutable hash of key terms on-ledger. Transfers need consent from the new lender, borrower and agent bank before executing atomically, and payments settle on the ledger in tokenized commercial bank money.\n\nChang Yang Jiao, Nammu21's head of blockchain, and Moritz Platt, a capital markets technology manager, wrote the post. They cited Loan Market Association data showing secondary market settlement for par and near-par loans averaged 42 days in the fourth quarter of 2024, with a median of 27 days.\n\n## Nammu21's Funding and Finastra Work\n\nNammu21, founded in 2017 and based in New York, has raised $15.8 million in total funding, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). A March 2025 round drew strategic investments from Nasdaq Ventures, State Street, UBS, Citi Ventures, Galaxy Digital and XBTO Humla Ventures, and a $15.8 million Series A in October 2022 was led by XBTO Humla Ventures.\n\nIn May 2026 the company announced a partnership with Finastra to integrate its NEL Protocol into Finastra's Loan IQ Nexus Build API, and launched the N21 FLP Engine, N21 Data Lake, N21 Metapatterns library and NELI Chat Agent. The same records list more than 9,000 transactions in the N21 Public Dataset, spanning January to July 2024.\n\n## Tokenized Credit Deals at Centrifuge and Cross River\n\n[Centrifuge](https://cryptobriefing.com/centrifuge-pendle-fixed-rate-rwa-markets-base/) and Pendle Finance partnered to launch fixed-rate markets for tokenized real-world assets on Base, starting with deJAAA tied to Janus Henderson's AAA CLO strategy, Crypto Briefing reported on November 3, 2026. The deJAAA market launched on October 21, 2026, with a maturity date of November 26, 2026.\n\nCross River and Offchain are integrating tokenization into Cross River's lending platform so assets can be tokenized at origination on Arbitrum One, [Finextra](https://www.finextra.com/pressarticle/111560/cross-river-and-offchain-bring-native-tokenisation-to-lending-infrastructure?utm_medium=rssfinextra&utm_source=finextrafeed) reported on November 3, 2026. That partnership includes a proof-of-concept and targets production deployment in early 2027.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
