This marks the first time a major traditional asset manager ($785B) has created a system where investors must possess digital tokens to access lending, while simultaneously enabling those tokens to be used as collateral for further digital borrowing. This dual-token system (ACRED/sACRED) creates unprecedented financial dependencies on digital assets.

📰 What Happened
Apollo Global Management ($785B assets) partnered with Securitize Inc. to launch ACRED, a tokenized credit fund on blockchain in January 2025. The fund has attracted $100M+ in investments, requiring $50,000 minimum commitment with 2% fees. ACRED mirrors Apollo's existing Diversified Credit Fund but converts traditional paper statements into digital tokens, allowing holders to mint sACRED tokens for stablecoin borrowing on DeFi platforms. Coinbase Asset Management is among early adopters.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The ACRED/sACRED system introduces three prophetically significant innovations: 1) It requires digital tokens for access to $785B in traditional lending, 2) It creates a self-reinforcing loop where digital tokens become necessary for both borrowing and lending, and 3) It establishes a precedent where major financial institutions require blockchain participation for basic banking services. This aligns with Revelation's economic control system by normalizing token-dependent commerce while involving unprecedented scale through Apollo's massive asset base.
