Investment Thesis

Investment Thesis Diagram

LiquidStone II targets 14%+ APY with no lock-up through a balanced 50/50 allocation: Brazilian credit card receivables with near-zero historical default rates, BRL/USD FX hedging, and blue-chip DeFi protocols for enhanced liquidity. This dual-asset structure combines the stable returns of emerging market credit with the liquidity and transparency advantages of DeFi.

By integrating proven credit underwriting with dynamic onchain asset allocation, LiquidStone II delivers risk-adjusted returns typically reserved for multi-year capital while maintaining daily redemption capability, real-time transparency, and 1-5 day settlement.

Market Opportunity

Brazilian Credit Card Receivables

Market Overview & Opportunity Scale

Market Overview & Opportunity Scale

Brazil has over 21 million SMEs, with only 34% accessing formal credit. This $100B+ credit gap offers a major opportunity for innovative solutions.

Consumer Payment Behavior & Market Dynamics

Consumer Payment Behavior & Market Dynamics

In Brazil, 62–79% of consumer purchases are paid in installments, typically over six to seven 30-day cycles. This helps consumers but delays merchant payments. The result is a continuous backlog of receivables requiring financing solutions, presenting a significant arbitrage opportunity for credit providers.

The Inefficient Payments System

The Inefficient Payments System

The Interbank Payments System is Brazil's centralized platform that processes all credit card transactions. It provides transparent receivables data to financial institutions, enabling merchants of any size to use future card payments as loan collateral while preventing duplicate use of the same collateral.

Receivables Pooling & Management

Receivables Pooling & Management

Lenders can block receivables within defined timeframes regardless of transaction source. For example, an $8,000 advance automatically blocks the earliest receivables until covered. The "Receivables Schedule" allows selection and management of receivables pools within chosen periods - e.g. 30 days.

Transaction Example: Installment Bundling

Transaction Example: Installment Bundling

BlackOpal purchases bundled receivables with an average 45-day maturity across multiple merchants and sectors. For example, a merchant processing $10,000 in credit card sales across various installment terms (3, 5, or 7 months) creates multiple future payment streams. BlackOpal acquires only the portion settling within the 45-day window, diversifying exposure across thousands of merchants while maintaining short-duration, predictable cash flows tied to payment network settlement dates.

BlackOpal's Repayment Intercept System

Built on Visa/Mastercard payment rails with diversified originator and merchant exposure, delivering scalable, secure deployment and superior risk-adjusted returns.

No 3rd party entity, at any point, has access to or processes BlackOpal’s investor capital. 

[01]

Merchant originators such as e-commerce platforms, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) players, and others originate eligible merchants based on credit policy for credit card advances

[03]

Repayments from payment processors are instantly auto-settled back in BlackOpal’s segregated account, not relying on traditional merchant repayment of credit  - resulting in zero credit default rate 

[02]

BlackOpal approves funding based on confirmed merchant credit card transaction receivables and funds are disbursed automatically directly to merchants

[04]

The cycle continues until investor redeems, at which point funds flow back to investors

BlackOpal's Conservative
Assets Allocation Strategy

Risk Mitigation

Focus on ≤45-day average repayment window from low-risk merchants (restaurants, groceries, gas stations). Exclude e-commerce, gambling, and subscriptions to minimize fraud and chargebacks.

Trade-offs

Smaller allocation capacity and lower APY potential but significantly reduced risk exposure.

Structure

Asset allocation with daily ~5% receivables flow over 20 business days, plus 2% rebalance buffer for errors and additional buffer days to handle uneven transaction distribution from market dynamics (paydays, holidays, seasonality).

Risks & Mitigation

Credit Risk

Credit Risk

Track record of 0.0% credit default rate. Credit card receivables with 45 day receivables on average and direct interception of repayments from Visa and Mastercard networks carry near-zero credit risk. This is reinforced through focus on billed and settled transactions, eliminating merchant-side fraud risk, and strategic prioritization of low-chargeback sectors including grocery and fashion retail.
FX Risk

FX Risk

50% of the fund's assets is in USD. The Fund's Brazilian Real exposure from credit card receivables is hedged to USD using Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDFs) executed through third party financial institutions based in Brazil. NDFs lock in forward exchange rates aligned with the short-term receivables cycles, minimizing mark-to-market volatility from BRL fluctuations.
Counterparty Risk

Counterparty Risk

Counterparty risk is mitigated through vetted partner relationships, no 3rd party managing investor capital, and automated re-payment systems from Mastercard and Visa, and direct control over custody accounts throughout the receivables lifecycle. Visa and Mastercard represent the primary counterparty exposure, both institutional-grade entities with established credit profiles.
Operational

Operational

Compliant monitoring frameworks ensure adherence to regulatory requirements, while early warning systems via onchain tools provide real-time operational visibility. Comprehensive risk management includes regular partner audits, automated compliance reporting, and contingency planning for stress scenarios.
