Qupital launches AI-powered on-chain lending protocol for e-commerce

Asian fintech platform Qupital has launched what it described as the world’s first AI-powered on-chain e-commerce lending protocol, according to Techub News, which cited Finextra. The company has focused on trade financing services for cross-border e-commerce merchants, and the new launch shows it is extending that business into on-chain infrastructure. The announcement ties Qupital’s existing role in cross-border trade finance to a new blockchain-based lending product aimed at the e-commerce sector. No additional product details, launch timeline, or technical specifications were disclosed in the brief. The report frames the move as an expansion of Qupital’s business scope rather than a departure from its existing focus.
