Kasu is a Real World Asset (RWA) business lending protocol that leverages proprietary technology to optimise businesses' cash flows and credit risk to deliver higher-quality, risk-adjusted yields in DeFi. The platform layers automated debt recovery mechanisms and structured credit to improve risk management across private-credit RWA products. Kasu is an exclusive joint venture between Faculty Group and Apxium Technologies and will build on Apxium’s SaaS+FinTech innovation platform. Apxium’s platform provides Receivables and Payables Financing solutions for accounting and law firms and their clients. The technology has been shown to reduce accounts receivable administration and debtor days by up to 50%, de-risking debtor positions prior to advancing funds against invoices. Kasu intends to use the new capital to advance its platform and further refine its proprietary risk-optimisation and credit-recovery capabilities.

NiiFi is developing a low-latency decentralized exchange that runs on Nahmii, an Ethereum layer-2 network designed to boost transaction throughput. By leveraging Nahmii’s architecture, the platform provides instant, non-probabilistic settlement finality, a capability positioned to attract institutional traders. The exchange also embeds know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money-laundering (AML) functionality to meet compliance demands often absent in DeFi. According to Nahmii developer Jacobo Toll-Messia, the underlying technology is proprietary and currently patent-pending. NiiFi’s product roadmap centers on turning these technical advantages into a commercially viable DEX. The team, backed by seasoned crypto investors, plans additional fundraising rounds to expand both the exchange and the broader Nahmii layer-2 ecosystem.
