Cross River Partners With Arbitrum to Tokenize Loans Ahead of 2027 Launch

Cross River Bank and Offchain Labs have teamed up to integrate loan tokenization directly from origination on the Layer 2 network Arbitrum One . Following the successful completion of a proof-of-concept alongside ZeroDev , the U.S.-regulated financial institution confirmed it will record the entire lifecycle of its commercial loans on the blockchain , while maintaining its banking oversight, risk management, and regulatory compliance. This initiative marks a key milestone for real-world assets (RWA) , as it transfers regulated bank credit books to public networks without altering borrower terms. By structuring loans on-chain from day one, the platform aims to optimize secondary market liquidity, reduce operational intermediaries, and enable global funds to participate with greater institutional transparency.
