Private credit
Private credit, from digital assets to receivables.
Private credit is a mandate Wesvel’s funds invest in. The funds originate and hold collateralized facilities against digital assets, and private credit positions secured on receivables, inventory, equipment and warehoused loans. Every facility is sized to what secures it, documented, and monitored through its term.
This page describes an investment mandate. It is not an offer of credit and not an invitation to apply for financing. Interests in the funds are offered only to accredited investors and qualified purchasers. Past performance is not indicative of future results; investments involve a high risk of capital loss.
Inquire about fund eligibilityBespoke credit, sized to the collateral.
The funds hold credit exposure in two forms. Collateralized facilities against digital assets, written to institutions, funds and treasuries that hold them. And private credit secured on the assets of operating businesses: receivables, inventory and equipment, warehouse lines to lenders and originators, term facilities, and structured debt where a standard facility is the wrong shape.
Each position is structured to the obligor and to what secures it: the asset, its custody or control, its liquidity, and the cash flows that repay it. What every facility shares is the same discipline applied across Wesvel: risk sized before capital moves, exposure monitored through the term, and collateral held where the lender controls it.
Solutions
Credit extended against digital assets held in segregated custody. Facilities are overcollateralized, marked to market continuously, and subject to margin calls at pre-agreed thresholds.
Risk. Collateral can fall faster than a margin call can be met; liquidation crystallizes the loss.
Financing for hedged and relative-value positions, sized against the position's own risk rather than a single asset's price. The same limits that govern Wesvel's market-neutral book govern the credit extended against it.
Risk. Leverage amplifies basis, funding and venue risk as well as return.
Single-borrower or pooled facilities held in a dedicated special purpose vehicle where a position is best kept outside the commingled fund. Terms, eligibility and fees are specific to each vehicle and set out in its offering documents.
Risk. Private credit is illiquid; there may be no secondary market before maturity.
Derivatives overlays that neutralize a borrower's unwanted price exposure while the underlying position continues to earn, using the venues and limits of Wesvel's derivatives mandate.
Risk. Hedges concentrate counterparty risk at the venue; funding can turn adverse.
Advances against accounts receivable, by purchase or by loan, against a borrowing base of eligible invoices from creditworthy payers. Verification, dilution reserves and concentration limits are applied to every base; collections run through a controlled account.
Risk. Invoices can be fraudulent, disputed or paid short; a concentrated payer can fail.
Revolving facilities to lenders and originators, secured on the loans they make and held in a bankruptcy-remote vehicle. Eligibility criteria and advance rates govern the borrowing base; a backup servicer is named before the first draw; the facility is dated to a realistic takeout.
Risk. Underlying loans can underperform; the takeout can fail, leaving the lender holding the book.
Senior secured and unitranche term loans to operating businesses, underwritten on stressed cash flow, secured on identified assets, and governed by financial, information and negative covenants that give the lender early warning.
Risk. Cash flow can fall short; collateral can realize less than assumed at enforcement.
Revolving and term credit sized to the orderly-liquidation value of inventory, equipment and mixed collateral, verified by field examination and independent appraisal, with availability that moves with the borrowing base.
Risk. Physical collateral can be misreported, moved or worth less than appraised.
Short-duration, revenue-based exposure to operating businesses underwritten from bank and processor data, and loans, leases and sale-leasebacks secured on vehicles, machinery, medical and technology equipment.
Risk. Short-term facilities are costly if revenue falls; equipment can realize less than expected on repossession.
Bridge loans to a defined event, revenue-based financing against verifiable recurring revenue, participations and forward-flow purchase commitments, and credit held in dedicated vehicles that issue notes to their own investors.
Risk. Bridge events can be delayed; revenue can fall; vehicle structures add cost and are illiquid.
Lending and borrowing through decentralized protocols that have passed Wesvel's protocol diligence (audit history, time in production, governance, oracle dependencies), with per-protocol and per-chain exposure limits.
Risk. Smart contracts can fail or be exploited; audits reduce but do not remove this.
Private credit
Beyond digital asset collateral.
The same underwriting that sizes a loan to the value and liquidity of a digital asset applies to a pool of invoices, a warehouse of newly originated loans, a company’s cash flows or its inventory. The funds take exposure across all of them, with a written credit process, perfected security, covenants that give early warning and servicing separated from origination.
The resulting positions are illiquid and are held to maturity or to a defined exit. They are not offered to the public, and this page is not an invitation to borrow.
Credit discipline
How we protect the senior position.
A first-priority, perfected security interest is what makes a private credit facility senior in fact rather than in name. Wesvel gets there the same way on every facility: underwrite from data taken at the source, search the liens before filing its own, control the cash, close the paths fraud takes, and monitor the collateral as long as the loan is outstanding.
- 01Underwrite from the sourceRead-only connections to the borrower’s payment processor and bank accounts return daily settlement, chargeback and deposit data. That is the true book, reconciled to the aging, not a PDF the obligor supplied.
- 02Search, then file firstA UCC, tax lien and judgment search runs before funding. Prior liens are paid off and terminated or subordinated, and a UCC-1 financing statement is filed so the security interest is perfected and first in priority.
- 03Notify debtors and control the cashAccount debtors receive a notice of assignment and pay into a lockbox, or the operating account sits under a deposit account control agreement with springing or full dominion.
- 04Control fraud, hold guaranteesDirect verification of invoices, duplicate and fictitious-debtor detection, deposit tracing for round-tripping and stacking checks, backed by personal and validity guarantees and cross-default terms.
- 05Monitor the borrowing baseBorrowing base certificates on a fixed cadence, field examinations and independent appraisals at net orderly liquidation value, coverage covenants tested on schedule, and availability that moves with the collateral.
Collateral framework
How a facility is held.
- 01
Overcollateralized
Loan value is a fraction of collateral value, with the buffer set to the collateral's volatility and liquidity.
- 02
Marked continuously
Collateral is valued against live venue prices; margin calls trigger at pre-agreed thresholds, before a liquidation level.
- 03
Segregated custody
Collateral sits in dedicated Fireblocks MPC vaults with policy-enforced transaction governance, never commingled, never rehypothecated without written consent.
How each facility actually works.
A loan is a set of mechanisms: what secures it, how that security is valued and controlled, what happens when it deteriorates, and what the paper lets the lender do. The digital asset facilities and the private credit products each have their own, described page by page below.

Inside Lending
Digital asset facilities
- 01How a Facility WorksThe anatomy of a collateralized digital asset loan: borrower, collateral, custody, term and the controls between them.
- 02Collateral and Loan-to-ValueWhich assets qualify as collateral, how loan-to-value is set from their liquidity and volatility, and why the haircut is the whole loan.
- 03Margin Calls and LiquidationThe thresholds, cure periods and liquidation rules that protect a facility when collateral falls, and how they differ from on-chain liquidation.
- 04Custody and Triparty ControlWhy collateral sits with an independent custodian under a control agreement, and how instruction rights work through the life of the loan.
- 05Documentation and RecourseThe facility agreement, security and control documents, and what a lender can and cannot do when things go wrong.
- 06Borrower Diligence and Use of ProceedsWho Wesvel lends to, what it asks before it does, and why the use of proceeds is part of the underwriting.
