The Digital Bridge: Structuring Efficient Access to China’s High-Tech Supply Chain

Project Dewu introduces a market’s first: tokenized access to a QFLP structure, enabling efficient foreign capital access to China’s high-tech supply chain through EVIDENT’s unique, compliant tokenization model. By combining regulated digital infrastructure with real-time supply-chain data, the structure offers institutional-grade transparency, short-duration receivables exposure, and a streamlined cross-border investment framework.

The Convergence of Infrastructure and Real Economy

The global financial landscape is currently witnessing a shift from theoretical blockchain applications to tangible implementation in the real economy. Project Dewu, a strategic collaboration between Dewu Capital and EVIDENT, represents a material step in this evolution.

By establishing one of the market's first Tokenized Qualified Foreign Limited Partner (QFLP) vehicles, we are introducing a new mechanism for cross-border capital formation. This initiative is designed to solve a specific market friction: the disconnect between offshore capital seeking attractive decorrelated yield and the substantial working capital demands of Mainland China’s high-technology supply chain.

The Macro Thesis: The Onshore Funding Gap

China’s industrial ecosystem, particularly in the high-tech and advanced manufacturing sectors, holds a dominant global position. However, the financing mechanisms for the upstream suppliers in these industries have historically been fragmented.

While "Core Enterprises" (large conglomerates) enjoy abundant liquidity, their upstream suppliers (SMEs) often face long payment cycles. This creates a structural USD 2 trillion financing gap.

The QFLP (Qualified Foreign Limited Partner) program was established by state regulators to channel foreign capital into these onshore private markets. However, traditional QFLP structures are operationally heavy, typically requiring significant minimum capital outlays and complex "feeder" funds in jurisdictions like the Cayman Islands, creating a barrier to entry for all but the largest institutional and sovereign wealth investors.

Structural Innovation: Direct Depository Tokenization (DDT)

The core innovation of this partnership is the digitization of the QFLP structure, executed under the fully licensed tokenization framework of the EVIDENT platform for asset issuance, broker-dealer distribution, custody, and secondary market operations. We utilize a model that EVIDENT termed Direct Depository Tokenization (DDT).

Eliminating the Feeder Layer: In a conventional structure, capital flows through multiple Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) before reaching the onshore entity. The DDT model streamlines this, allocating capital directly into the onshore QFLP following or proprietary approach.

The Participant Benefit:

  • Cost Efficiency: By removing the offshore fund layer, we significantly reduce the Total Expense Ratio (TER).
  • Regulatory Alignment: The structure is fully compliant, utilizing a Hong Kong Licensed setup governed by Hong Kong law, while the underlying deployment is governed by PRC law, validated by JunHe Law Offices.
  • Fractionalized Access: This structure effectively "democratizes" the QFLP, allowing Professional Investors to hold beneficial interests in an onshore structure that typically requiresa distinct institutional setup.

Portfolio Focus: High-Tech Supply Chain Finance

The portfolio is composed of short-duration receivables and commercial factoring assets. These are not speculative loans; they are "self-liquidating" assets backed by genuine trade transactions.

Allocation Strategy:

  • Accounts Receivable Financing: Discounting invoices from suppliers of blue-chip technology firms.
  • Cross-Border In-Transit Financing: Bridging the liquidity gap for merchants between shipment and delivery.

The assets are characterized by short duration (typically 30–90 days). This rapid turnover minimizes interest rate risk and allows for continuous re-underwriting, a crucial feature in managing portfolio volatility.

Data-Driven Risk Management

A critical differentiator in this partnership is the ability to build upon China's highly efficient digital payments and commerce infrastructure.

Unlike traditional factoring, where lenders rely on historical financial statements, this structure leverages the massive scale of the QQT (SRM) and Flyway (Fintech Payments) ecosystems to achieve a "God’s Eye View" of the supply chain.

  • Information Flow (QQT): Leveraging China's largest SaaS-based Supplier Relationship Management platform, which serves over 1.2 million enterprise users and connects with more than 1,000 large core enterprises. We use this data to verify the authenticity of Purchase Orders instantly.
  • Logistics & Capital Flow (Flyway): Flyway’s infrastructure allows for real-time tracking of goods and funds. Crucially, this integration enables a "deduction at source" recovery mechanism. When the downstream buyer settles the payment, the system can automatically recover the principal and interest before the remaining balance is settled to the borrower.

This integration transforms risk management from a subjective assessment of borrower character to an objective verification of transaction data at an industrial scale.

Institutional Governance & Technology

To meet the requirements of institutional capital, the project has established a robust governance framework:

  • Audit: Ernst & Young (EY) serves as the auditor for the underlying structure.
  • Legal: JunHe Law Offices acts as PRC legal counsel.
  • Infrastructure: The asset is structured on the EVIDENT platform and utilizes the Polygon network for ledger recording. This allows for desensitized asset performance data to be recorded on-chain, offering a level of transparency regarding the underlying collateral that is rare in private credit markets.

Conclusion: Advancing True Alternative Assets

Project Dewu stands as yet another example of EVIDENT’s distinct position in institutional-grade asset origination for alternative investments.

By successfully structuring complex and high-value private market opportunities for institutional investors, we continue to demonstrate that digital infrastructure is best utilized not just for the straightforward wrapping of liquid cash equivalents like money market funds, but to engineer entirely new access to the real economy. By financing established high-growth technology enterprises many of which are global champions—we are engineering entirely new, data-backed pathways for global capital deployment.
