Credora, a provider of institutional credit infrastructure that straddles centralized and decentralized finance (DeFi), has raised $6 million in a strategic funding round that included S&P Global and Coinbase Ventures as investors. The capital will help build out the technology and bolster Credora’s private computation technology that’s used to underwrite and monitor borrowers.
The New York-based company said borrowers don’t want to share their sensitive information, which pushes lenders to rely on reputation and relationships when deciding to extend credit. The weaknesses of such opaque lending models was revealed by the collapse of several centralized lenders including CoinDesk sister company Genesis, Celsius Network and Voyager Digital, which took out billions of dollars of client capital.
