POSCO Tokenizes Trade Receivables on Avalanche

Trade receivables represent money owed after goods are delivered but before customers pay, and companies commonly use them to secure working-capital financing. POSCO International’s tokenization effort seeks to place ownership and asset-status records on a shared, auditable ledger, reducing the reconciliation burden across invoices, purchase orders and shipping documents. The project is significant because it applies blockchain infrastructure to live institutional trade finance rather than a purely simulated asset.

POSCO International America said on Aug. 25, 2026, that it completed the transaction with trade-finance platform Olea and asset-finance infrastructure provider Intain. Olea, incubated by Standard Chartered’s SC Ventures, used real capital to acquire the tokenized receivables, while Intain used AI to verify supporting documents before recording the assets on its Avalanche-based Layer 1 network. No transaction value was disclosed. POSCO International, which generates about $22.2 billion in annual revenue, had completed a separate receivables pilot with LG CNS on Injective on July 27.
