By channeling DeFi capital into real-world consumer lending, Zivo aims to refinance predatory, high-interest loans and expand affordable credit in underbanked markets while creating a new on-chain yield product, potentially reshaping how retail lending is funded and priced. This model could both lower borrowing costs for vulnerable consumers and open a regulated pathway for crypto liquidity to impact traditional credit markets.
Zivo (ZVO) is launching a real-world asset credit protocol on Ethereum that pools stablecoins into senior and junior tranches to fund originators who underwrite nonprime personal loans, primarily targeting high-interest consumer lending in underserved U.S. markets. Loans are routed through special purpose vehicles and interest payments are returned on-chain to provide sustainable yield to liquidity providers, who receive tranche tokens that can be staked for additional rewards. The protocol is governed by a community DAO using an ERC-20 ZVE token, which grants voting rights and distribution of governance incentives. Zivo is currently running a 30-day initial tranche offering (ITO) with a 10% APR for senior and 22% APR for junior tranches, with eligibility restrictions for certain U.S. participants.
