August 28, 2025 – Pareto, a private credit marketplace connecting institutional lenders and borrowers, is proud to announce the launch of a new Credit Vault in partnership with RockawayX, one of Europe’s leading crypto-native credit funds.

A long-time investor in Pareto and one of the earliest institutional players in the digital asset credit space, RockawayX brings a deep track record in structuring, underwriting, and managing credit facilities across DeFi, CeFi, and real-world assets (RWAs). Their active approach to portfolio management and institutional-grade credit practices have made them a trusted name in the market.

With this launch, RockawayX opens a new fixed-rate Credit Vault on Pareto, offering institutional lenders access to a professionally structured, RWA-backed lending opportunity designed for stability, transparency, and consistent returns.

Pareto Credit Vaults enable direct, programmable credit relationships between institutional borrowers and on-chain lenders. These vaults eliminate traditional inefficiencies, such as overcollateralization and manual approval cycles, while introducing transparency, automated risk management, and regulatory compliance through privacy-preserving KYC.

The RockawayX Credit Vault is an evergreen, fixed-rate lending facility denominated in $USDC:

• Starting APY: 10%

• Interest distribution: Monthly

• Redemption schedule: Monthly, with early exit options

• Collateral structure: Backed by the diversified asset pool of RockawayX Credit Fund

Funds deployed through the vault support RockawayX’s diversified credit portfolio, including both RWA and crypto-native strategies with strong underwriting frameworks and active risk oversight. Lenders can participate with full visibility into the Credit Vault’s structure and performance, with returns distributed monthly.

“We’ve worked closely with Pareto and seen firsthand their deep expertise in building institutional-grade credit infrastructure. Launching our own Credit Vault was a natural next step - enabling us to scale our credit strategy on a platform purpose-built for on-chain lending. For institutional lenders, it offers seamless access to double-digit, stable yield backed by a diversified portfolio.”
- Adam Bilko, Portfolio Manager at RockawayX

This launch reflects a broader shift in institutional credit markets: away from opaque, fragmented loan origination and toward programmable, on-chain infrastructure that offers real-time visibility, cost efficiency, and automated compliance.

By leveraging Pareto’s Credit Vault architecture, RockawayX operates with full transparency and maintains autonomy over capital deployment, trading strategies, and risk management, while institutional lenders benefit from standardized reporting, curated oversight, and clear visibility into performance.

“We’re proud to launch RockawayX’s first Credit Vault on Pareto - the first, and certainly not the last, direct private credit access point to DeFi. Backed by disciplined structuring and deep digital credit expertise, this Vault offers lenders professionally underwritten opportunities with a strong focus on risk-adjusted returns.

Our goal is to lead the market in bringing the largest institutions onchain as private credit expands in 2025 and 2026. By providing exposure to some of the world’s most trusted private credit managers, under strict compliance standards, we aim to raise the bar for quality and deliver only high-caliber funds with world-class reputations to investors globally.”
- Matteo Pandolfi, Co-founder of Pareto

The launch of the RockawayX Credit Vault strengthens Pareto’s mission to build a scalable, transparent, and efficient private credit marketplace on-chain. It also expands the diversity of borrower profiles on the platform, offering lenders a growing selection of institutional-grade credit strategies.
