Fintech company NEWITY has secured an $11 million strategic investment led by CMT Digital to expand its AI-driven lending infrastructure and integrate blockchain-enabled capital market access for small business credit. The funding is aimed at addressing a persistent financing gap in the small business sector, where limited liquidity and slow underwriting processes continue to constrain capital access.
The company plans to scale its AI-first underwriting platform to accelerate loan origination while developing infrastructure that enables small business debt to be structured as digital, tradable instruments. By linking credit assets with blockchain-native and institutional capital channels, the initiative seeks to improve liquidity and streamline funding distribution within regulated frameworks.
NEWITY has facilitated over $12 billion in SBA-related funding to more than 125,000 businesses and intends to use the new capital to enhance automation and operational efficiency. The move reflects a broader trend of integrating AI and blockchain technologies into financial infrastructure to modernize credit markets and expand institutional participation in tokenized real-world assets.
