Injective Powers First Onchain Trade Finance Pilot for POSCO International and LG CNS

TLDR:

• POSCO International and LG CNS selected Injective for the first onchain trade finance pilot.
• AI agents reviewed Letters of Credit and trade documents before receivables were issued onchain.
• Injective is now an SEC-registered transfer agent, the first layer 1 to pair RWAs with recordkeeping.
• Injective has brought over $1 billion in real estate mortgages onchain, with more RWAs coming soon.

Onchain trade finance now has its first pilot on Injective. South Korea’s largest trading company, POSCO International, and LG CNS selected the blockchain for the project.

The pilot successfully completed a transaction using trade receivables generated through real commercial activity. AI agents reviewed Letters of Credit and supporting trade documents during the process.

The receivables were then issued as programmable, permissioned onchain assets with compliance controls embedded directly into the infrastructure.

Injective Onchain Trade Finance Capabilities

Injective shared the details in a post on X. The network said it is breaking new ground in tokenization. According to the post, its approach combines purpose-built RWA infrastructure, AI-powered finance, and regulatory rails on one unified network. The pilot forms part of that effort.

Injective said the pilot demonstrated what its infrastructure can power. These include programmable tokenized receivables, compliance controls, and regulated issuance rails.

The list also covers AI-assisted trade document review and institutional-grade onchain financial infrastructure. Together, these features supported the receivables issued during the pilot.

Trade finance supports more than $5 trillion in annual financing globally, according to the post. Injective said bringing these workflows onchain opens the door to modernizing one of the world’s largest financial markets.

The network listed faster settlement, greater programmability, and entirely new forms of RWA issuance as benefits.

Injective also said that trade finance is only one part of the story. The post then turned to other RWA developments alongside the onchain trade finance pilot. Those developments include a regulatory registration and a growing range of tokenized assets.

SEC Registration and Expanding RWA Footprint

Injective is now an SEC-registered transfer agent. The network said this makes it the first layer 1 blockchain to combine native RWA infrastructure with regulated recordkeeping.

The recordkeeping capabilities are required by U.S. capital markets. The announcement appeared alongside the onchain trade finance update in the same post.

Beyond the registration, this infrastructure has helped bring over $1 billion in real estate mortgages to Injective. The network said the figure further expands its footprint across real-world assets. The mortgages are one of several asset types now available on the network.

To date, Injective has brought a growing range of assets onchain. These include institutional funds, public equities, trade receivables, and real estate mortgages.

Trade receivables entered that list through the recent onchain trade finance pilot with POSCO International and LG CNS. The network also listed pre-IPO exposure to companies such as SpaceX and OpenAI.

Injective said its goal extends beyond tokenizing individual assets. The network is building a full stack for compliant internet capital markets.

That stack covers issuance, trading, settlement, compliance, recordkeeping, and AI-powered onchain financial workflows.

It runs on one purpose-built network designed for the world’s largest financial institutions and everyday users. Injective added that new RWAs and deployments are coming soon.
