Archblock

What Archblock does

Archblock is a blockchain-oriented financial technology company building infrastructure for on-chain credit origination, asset tokenization, and alternative investment marketplaces. Founded in 2017 (under the prior name TrustToken) and now organized under Archblock (Holding) AG in Switzerland, the company operates three product lines: the TrueFi decentralized credit protocol on Ethereum (cumulatively responsible for approximately $2 billion in loan originations since 2020), the Archblock Marketplace that allows portfolio managers to launch, fundraise, and manage digital asset portfolios with secondary trading supported through a partnership with Oasis Pro Markets, and Archblock Stablecoins — a suite of fiat-pegged tokens (including 1CAD, 1HKD, and 1AUD) operated by subsidiary TrueCoin LLC and backed one-to-one by fiat currency held in escrow accounts managed by independent banking partners.

The company serves two principal customer segments: asset managers and fund managers seeking to bring lending books and fund interests on-chain to access DeFi global liquidity, and institutional or accredited investors seeking fractionalized alternative investment exposure with simplified subscription and onboarding flows. Its technology stack centers on Ethereum smart contracts that encode fund share classes, fee schedules, and compliance logic, combined with Chainlink-powered proof-of-reserves for stablecoin transparency. Distribution relies on a hybrid of self-serve platform access at app.archblock.com and stablecoins.archblock.com, plus direct outreach to enterprise customers through contact forms and email.

Archblock generates revenue primarily through platform and transaction fees on its marketplace and stablecoin services, with specific fee structures disclosed per portfolio. The company had raised more than $34 million across multiple funding rounds between 2017 and 2021, with investors including Andreessen Horowitz, BlockTower Capital, Founders Fund, and Morgan Creek Capital. As of February 9, 2026, Archblock LLC and four affiliated entities (TrueCoin LLC, TrueCoin II LLC, TrustToken Inc., TrueTrading 1 GP LLC) had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware, reporting liabilities exceeding $100 million against assets below $10 million.

Core offering

Archblock provides a blockchain-based marketplace and asset management platform that enables asset managers and fund managers to launch, fundraise, and manage digital asset portfolios on-chain via the TrueFi decentralized credit protocol. The platform serves institutional investors with access to tokenized alternative investments and pairs this with the Archblock Stablecoins service (operated by subsidiary TrueCoin LLC), which issues fiat-pegged tokens (1CAD, 1HKD, 1AUD and others) backed 1:1 by fiat reserves held in escrow with banking partners.

Product overview

Archblock is a blockchain-oriented design and development company offering a platform-plus-modules architecture for institutional finance. The core offering consists of the Archblock Institutional Platform (app.archblock.com), which provides curated access to TrueFi—a decentralized credit protocol on Ethereum—enabling portfolio managers to launch blockchain-based digital asset portfolios and investors to access these opportunities. This platform is complemented by Archblock Marketplace for alternative investments and Archblock Stablecoins (operated by subsidiary TrueCoin LLC), offering fiat-collateralized stablecoins (1CAD, 1HKD, 1AUD) with minting and redemption via escrow accounts. The Archblock for Managers and Archblock for Investors modules provide specialized tools for fund management and investment access, while a secondary trading marketplace (via Oasis Pro Markets partnership) addresses liquidity for fund interests. Note: The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February 2026 with liabilities exceeding $100 million against assets under $10 million.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Goldfinch Finance: Goldfinch is a decentralized credit protocol enabling loans to real-world businesses without crypto collateral—an emerging DeFi credit protocol that competes with TrueFi in the institutional/uncollateralized on-chain lending niche.
• Ondo Finance: Ondo Finance builds tokenized real-world asset products (e.g., OUSG, USDY) targeting institutional and accredited investors—an emerging RWA tokenization player with significant overlap with Archblock's marketplace and stablecoin yield products.

Broad incumbents

• MakerDAO: MakerDAO operates the DAI stablecoin system and the RWA-focused Maker vaults that hold tokenized real-world assets like Treasury bills and corporate bonds—a broad incumbent in DeFi credit and stablecoins, with overlapping RWA and stablecoin exposure to Archblock.
• Aave: Aave is one of the largest decentralized lending protocols with broad collateral coverage and an emerging RWA market (Aave Arc, RWA market). Comparable to TrueFi as an on-chain credit primitive, though more retail/crypto-collateral-oriented.
• Compound: Compound is a foundational decentralized lending protocol on Ethereum—an incumbent in the on-chain credit category alongside TrueFi, though focused on overcollateralized crypto-asset lending rather than Archblock's institutional undercollateralized credit thesis.
• Tether: Tether issues USDT, the largest fiat-backed stablecoin by circulating supply—a broad incumbent directly competitive with TrueUSD in the institutional dollar-on-ramp and trading-pair liquidity markets.

Direct peers

• Maple Finance: Maple Finance is a decentralized credit market for institutional borrowers, directly comparable to Archblock/TrueFi's on-chain lending marketplace. Both target institutional capital pools and offer undercollateralized or whitelisted lending products on Ethereum.
• Centrifuge: Centrifuge is a real-world asset tokenization protocol that enables on-chain financing against off-chain assets (invoices, real estate, royalties)—directly analogous to Archblock's marketplace bringing alternative-asset fund interests on-chain. Both operate in the RWA-on-chain space with comparable institutional targets.
• Paxos: Paxos is a regulated blockchain infrastructure platform that issues fiat-backed stablecoins (USDP, PAXG) and provides tokenization services—directly overlapping with Archblock's stablecoin franchise (TrueUSD) and tokenization infrastructure. Both target enterprise clients with regulated, audited digital-asset products.
• Circle: Circle is the issuer of USDC, the second-largest fiat-backed stablecoin, and offers tokenized money-market and treasury products. Directly comparable to TrueCoin LLC's TrueUSD issuance business, and competing for the same institutional on-chain dollar demand.
