Olea Raises $30m Series A Led By BBVA, SC Ventures to Expand Trade Finance Platform

Singapore-based trade finance platform Olea has raised $30 million in a Series A funding round co-led by BBVA and SC Ventures, the venture-building arm of Standard Chartered, the company announced on Tuesday.

The round also saw participation from XDC Network and maritime-focused venture capital firm theDOCK. Funding terms and valuation were not disclosed.

Olea said the capital will be used to invest in AI-driven analytics, Web3 capabilities, and new solutions such as embedded finance, while expanding origination across high-growth markets including Europe, the US, Latin America, and Asia.

BBVA’s participation is expected to support Olea’s expansion into new trade corridors and joint development of digital supply chain and risk analytics solutions. SC Ventures, which incubated Olea, said it continues to explore collaboration opportunities with the company across digital assets and artificial intelligence.

Olea aims to bring trade finance — one of the largest and least transparent credit asset classes — onto institutional-grade blockchain rails to support new investment, settlement, and liquidity models.

Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Singapore, Olea operates an MAS-licensed platform and has facilitated more than $3 billion in financing across over 70 trade corridors, working with more than 30 institutional funders and over 1,000 supplier and buyer clients.

The equity raise follows a separate funding facility announced in November 2024 that was arranged by HSBC and Manulife CQS Investment Management.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference

The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town.  From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world.  Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us.  Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak.  “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.”  We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
