E-commerce Operational Advance RWA Platform Dow Protocol Completes $9 Million Seed Round Financing, OKX Ventures, MH Ventures, Animoca Brands Participate

BlockBeats News, July 28, the e-commerce operational advance RWA platform Dow Protocol announced the completion of a $9 million Seed round financing, with participation from MH Ventures, OKX Ventures, Animoca Brands, Arcane Group, Essentia Partners, and Quartet Group. Dow Protocol targets merchants on leading global e-commerce platforms, providing operational funding advances based on their sales receivables and real operational data. Its underlying asset service system is embedded into mainstream e-commerce platforms, enabling direct access to merchants' raw operational data for credit assessment and risk control. Additionally, through collaboration with platforms, repayments are directly deducted from the platform side without passing through merchants' accounts, effectively mitigating repayment risks at the source and establishing an industry-leading collection mechanism. On the funding side, Dow Protocol leverages the instant settlement capabilities of stablecoins to compress the lengthy disbursement process of traditional lending into as fast as same-day funding. For the operational funding market, which is highly sensitive to cash flow, the speed of disbursement itself is a value proposition, making businesses willing to pay a premium for this efficiency. Furthermore, Dow Protocol introduces a new on-chain native logic for operational advances, allowing advance terms to be executed in a highly granular programmable manner, thereby reconstructing the underlying operational logic of supply chain finance. Dow Protocol positions itself as a universal, generalized e-commerce PayFi RWA advance protocol, with a framework that can be extended to meet supply chain financing needs across various scenarios, including e-commerce, dining, payments, gaming, and AI computing power.
