USD.AI Secures $40M Stablecoin-Based Revolving Debt Facility from K3 Capital

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- USD.AI has secured a $40 million stablecoin-based revolving debt facility from K3 Capital to support the launch of new financing products. The facility provides USD.AI with short-term credit collateralized by sUSDai, which can be drawn, repaid and reused as needed.

USD.AI's loans run three years and amortize monthly, while capital can enter and exit sUSDai on a far shorter cycle. Borrowing against sUSDai lets USD.AI meet that gap with short-term credit rather than with idle capital, keeping a higher share of the pool deployed in loans.

"K3 Capital's strategy is built on identifying such market-structure inefficiencies and supporting teams we trust," said Kiril Nikolov, Co-Founder of K3 Capital. "Rather than see sUSDai sit underdeployed, we are happy to extend short-term credit collateralized with sUSDai and help the team close out its roadmap. This is not a standalone deal for us; it is a service we provide to the protocols we have vetted and actively work with."

The facility builds on an existing liquidity relationship between K3 and USD.AI and reflects K3's broader practice of providing such facilities to protocols it has vetted and works with on an ongoing basis.

"We're preparing to launch a new product that requires a more flexible source of short-term capital," said David Choi, CEO of Permian Labs (developer of USD.AI). "K3 was able to design an onchain credit facility around that need, giving USD.AI the liquidity to support new initiatives as we continue expanding the platform."

The K3 facility follows USD.AI's recently announced $100 million stablecoin-based debt facility with Bullish, further expanding the range of capital available to support USD.AI's growth.
