The Brief Interviewer (00:18.466)
welcome everyone to a special episode of The Brief. The following interview with Rashid Hoosenally of Chain Capital was filmed live at our invitation only, Olivon Advisors Spring 2025 Conference in Austin, Texas. Let’s get started. Rashid, what is Chain Capital’s value proposition in today’s market?
Rashid Hoosenally (00:40)
We’re in a very unique position where we’re very close to having functional technology. We can actually start producing real revenues very rapidly. And in fact, we believe that we can be cash flow positive, certainly within 12 months of starting operations.

Why did you decide to launch this business now?
Rashid Hoosenally (01:00)
I think we’re at a real inflection point in which tokenization of financial assets is going to now accelerate very rapidly, very significantly. We’re right on the takeoff ramp. And a big part of that is that the regulatory environment and the pro-innovation stance of the new US administration is really going to accelerate that process over the next three to five years.

Please tell us about your core team.
Rashid Hoosenally (01:30)
The interesting thing about our team and the unique thing about our team is that not only do they have very deep and broad experience across traditional financial markets, all of us have spent the last five years immersed in blockchain technology and blockchain markets. So we’re in a unique position to understand how to bridge the two and how to harness this new exciting technology for the benefits of improving financial markets infrastructure.

What are some of your key initiatives in 2025?
Rashid Hoosenally (02:05)
So the first milestone is to get a proof of concept transaction for Medicaid receivables done by May. And from that point, we’ll test and make sure that the platform is ready for prime time and can scale and grow and then to deliver multiple asset based lending transactions through the platform, hopefully 10 to 12 transactions by the end of the year.

Where do you see Chain Capital 12 months from now?
Rashid Hoosenally (02:34)
In 12 months from now, I think we’ll have a very fully functional, scalable platform that’s extremely flexible. It can accommodate a very wide variety of deal types without too much friction. And as a result, we’ll be able to scale out very rapidly to a wide variety of asset-based lending transactions.
