December 9, 2025 Helping Manufacturers Importers and Exporters Move Faster

How Bloquo is bringing on-chain credit to the real economy.

Across global manufacturing and trade, companies are facing tighter cash cycles, rising FX costs, and longer settlement windows. Production has become more efficient, but the flow of capital that supports it has not kept up. Manufacturers must pay suppliers before revenue arrives. Importers commit cash well before cargo lands. Exporters wait months for payment. For many mid-sized firms, access to timely credit has become one of the most difficult parts of operating internationally.

Bloquo, a stablecoin powered financial infrastructure company, is gaining traction by focusing on this specific problem. The company is not positioning blockchain as a speculative technology. Instead, it is using on-chain systems to make working capital, FX, and cross-border settlement operate at the same speed as modern supply chains.

Why Working Capital Remains the Primary Constraint

Even well managed industrial companies experience liquidity gaps. These issues rarely reflect operational inefficiency. They are the result of slow financial processes that were designed for a very different era.

Common bottlenecks include:

• Upfront payments to suppliers
• Buyer payment terms that stretch 45 to 120 days
• FX spreads that erode margins
• Settlement windows limited to bank operating hours
• Manual compliance and reconciliation
• Limited access to flexible credit

The result is predictable. Capital moves slowly while goods move quickly. Production schedules tighten and shipping timelines extend because cash is not available when needed.

Bloquo’s approach is to align financial timing with operational timing so that supply chains can move without unnecessary delays.

On-Chain Credit Designed for Real Supply Chains

Bloquo provides credit backed by real trade documentation, including purchase orders, invoices, and bills of lading. This allows financing to be released at the moment when industrial companies actually need it.

Benefits for manufacturers and exporters:

• Access to 70 to 90 percent of invoice value
• Funding available within 24 to 48 hours
• Liquidity released at the moment a bill of lading is issued
• Faster production cycles and fewer cashflow bottlenecks

Benefits for importers:

• Purchase order financing that does not drain internal cash
• Multi currency settlement
• Reduced FX exposure through continuous conversion

This approach uses blockchain only where it adds value. It improves the speed of settlement, enhances transparency, and creates a direct connection between industrial borrowers and global liquidity providers.

Cross-Border Payments and FX Integrated Into the Same Workflow

Credit is only one part of the challenge. The movement of funds across borders is often even slower than the movement of goods. Bloquo integrates payments and FX into the same system as financing.

Key capabilities include:

• Instant cross-border settlement that replaces T+3 or T+5 with T+0
• Local payouts in 100+ currencies across more than 100 countries
• Stablecoin ramps with transparent FX pricing
• A 24 hour by 7 day settlement environment not limited by banking hours

Transactions that previously required a mix of banks, brokers, and manual checks can now be completed through a single platform. For CFOs and treasury teams, this reduces operational friction and shortens the entire cash conversion cycle.

How Stablecoins Fit Into Industrial Finance

Stablecoins are often discussed in the context of retail digital assets. Their real industrial value is simpler. They provide a neutral, programmable settlement asset that behaves like a digital dollar.

For manufacturers, importers, and exporters, stablecoins allow:

• Settlement without banking cutoffs
• Faster movement of funds between jurisdictions
• Reduced trapped liquidity
• Greater transparency and predictability in payment timing

When combined with on-chain credit and integrated FX, they provide a financial structure that aligns with how global supply chains already operate.

A Shift Toward Faster Financial Infrastructure

Manufacturing and global trade now operate on real time information flows. Finance has been the last part of the system to modernize. Bloquo represents a broader shift toward infrastructure that matches the speed of production and logistics.

The goal is not to reinvent global trade. The goal is to allow capital to move as efficiently as the goods it supports. For manufacturers, importers, and exporters, this shift is already becoming a competitive advantage.
