CreatorFi, the innovative platform enabling creators, artists, gaming studios, and media businesses to access credit against their digital IP, today announced a strategic partnership with Aptos Foundation and Aptos Labs. As part of the collaboration, CreatorFi will launch its platform on Aptos, one of the fastest-growing Layer 1 blockchains, and receive a total of $2 million in strategic funding to accelerate growth.
The partnership positions CreatorFi as a first-of-its-kind stablecoin-based lending platform, enabling creators and businesses to borrow and receive payouts entirely in USDC. By leveraging Aptos’ cross-chain transfer protocols and fiat on/off ramps, CreatorFi brings seamless, capital-efficient lending to the creator economy.
“Our mission has always been to unlock the value of creator IP and make access to capital simple, efficient, and global,” said Jack Cameron, Chief Business Officer and co-founder of CreatorFi. “Partnering with Aptos Foundation and Aptos Labs allows us to scale this mission on a blockchain that shares our vision for on-chain finance, stablecoin-powered transactions, and real economic activity. Together, we’re not just building credit products for creators, we’re demonstrating how the future of global digital finance can work.”
“CreatorFi is the first platform to intelligently underwrite and finance the growth of the creator economy, a massively successful and fast growing market that has been historically underserved by traditional lenders,” said Ash Pampati, SVP, Head of Ecosystem at Aptos Foundation and former Global Head of Go-To-Market for YouTube Music. “This is exactly the kind of real-world, stablecoin-powered utility Aptos was built to support, and we're excited to help CreatorFi set a new standard for what onchain lending can achieve.”
Key highlights of the partnership include: stablecoin loan infrastructure, where CreatorFi embeds USDC directly into the credit workflow, with borrowers receiving and repaying loans in USDC, leveraging Aptos’ integration of Circle’s USDC and CCTP protocols; proof of credit on Aptos, targeting creator IP cashflows as collateral to expand Aptos’ DeFi ecosystem; and unparalleled marketing reach, as CreatorFi’s borrower base spans billions of impressions across games, media, and content platforms, introducing Aptos to new audiences.
With a $25 million warehouse facility scalable to $100 million, CreatorFi’s launch on Aptos demonstrates the practical, real-world adoption of stablecoin-powered credit solutions while amplifying Aptos’ mission to become the home for onchain finance and cross-border digital money movement.
