Leshines is the supply chain solution provider of Lenovo Group, which ranks among the top ten on Gartner’s prestigious Top 25 supply chain list.The move reinforces ewpartners’ and Leshine’s commitment to fostering local industrial growth and empowering enterprises in Saudi Arabia.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ewpartners (formerly eWTP Arabia Capital), the first international investment firm to establish a Saudi-Asia cross border platform, has announced a USD $50 million investment in Leshines, the supply chain solutions arm of Chinese multinational tech company Lenovo at The Future Investment Initiative (FII), a premier global platform that drives transformative investments and fosters international partnerships for sustainable economic growth.

The investment accelerates the localization of Leshines capabilities in Saudi Arabia, further strengthening the Kingdom’s position as a vital player in sustainable global trade networks and supply chain operations.

Five months ago, Lenovo and PIF-backed company Alat announced a strategic collaboration, including a proposed US$2 billion investment. Today, this partnership is set to advance to the next step.

Leshines is also exploring the option of entering the KSA-Sino Logistics Special Economic Zone at King Salman International Airport in Riyadh, an initiative which was announced by the Saudi Ministry of Transport and Logistics earlier this month. Managed by ewpartners, the Zone will cover a total area of 4 square kilometres and consist of a logistics industrial park, an international commercial and business park, and corresponding living space and facilities. It will enable international companies to manufacture locally in Saudi and then springboard their distribution to other markets worldwide. It is expected to attract over 3,000 wholesalers and retailers and around 200 light industrial manufacturers from China and Asia.

Jerry Li, Founder and Managing Partner at ewpartners said the following on the announcement:

“This investment is a significant step towards building the future of Saudi Arabia that we all envision, and we are actively working to establish this goal. Our investment in Leshines underscores our commitment to this project and our determination to foster local industrial growth and the development of Saudi enterprises. By partnering with Leshines to bring advanced supply chain solutions to Saudi Arabia and the MENA markets, we further assist Chinese companies in exploring localized production and empower local enterprises, aligning with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.”

Alan Zhou, COO of Leshines, commented on the announcement:

As Lenovo’s smart supply chain solution platform, Leshines will take this opportunity to establish roots in Saudi Arabia, focusing on the MENA region, and build the foundational strategic capabilities of an advanced digital supply chain. As a globally leading strategic fund, ewpartners’ strategic resources and unique advantages in KSA, the Middle East, and emerging markets perfectly match Leshines’ strategic vision and development roadmap. With solid support and a strong partnership with ewpartners, we are confident that Saudi Arabia will become an important node in the Smart Supply Chain Platform, contributing to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.

The investment in Leshines marks the first transaction for ewpartners Fund II. Amid the growing synergy between China and the Middle East, ewpartners’ investment model has garnered recognition from key stakeholders in the region. Supported by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, ewpartners has also recently secured commitments from other GCC sovereign wealth funds, including USD 150 million from the Oman Investment Authority.

International companies will establish manufacturing capabilities within the Zone and collaborate with Saudi enterprises to produce locally for distribution to markets around the world.

Two Prime Lending surpasses $1 billion in loan volume and broadens product line to include both unsecured BTC and secured altcoin lending options.

BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Two Prime Lending Limited, a BVI-registered leading provider of debt financing for digital assets, has surpassed $1 billion in total loan volume just nine months after entering the market. With a primary focus on secured lending against major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), the company has recently expanded its offerings to include unsecured BTC and secured loans against top altcoins.

The achievement underscores Two Prime Lending’s commitment to client security, industry-leading rates, and a lending model that prioritizes transparency and client safeguards. In contrast to other failed industry models, Two Prime Lending does not trade or rehypothecate assets. Instead, collateral funds are securely held in bankruptcy-remote custody, providing clients with unmatched peace of mind. Lending, the company emphasizes, should be incredibly boring – a stance that has bolstered confidence among clients and stakeholders alike.

“It’s been amazing to see the demand in the market for lending return,” said Alexander Blume, company spokesperson. “We are just at the beginning of this lending renaissance, with trusted, transparent, and reliable companies leading the charge. From public miners, to crypto OGs, to asset managers, Two Prime Lending is thrilled to see so much traction. Looking at the future pipeline, this is only the start.”

The rapid growth of Two Prime Lending speaks to the resurgence of demand for secure, transparent lending in the digital asset market. Looking ahead, the company anticipates substantial future demand for its offerings. A primary challenge in the market remains sourcing high-quality capital at competitive rates, which the company continues to address through its extensive relationships across capital markets, with access to over $2.5 billion in available credit facilities.

In addition to its core lending services, Two Prime Lending sees strong interest in combining loans with capital-efficient derivatives trading, allowing clients to earn yield on their assets while their loans are active, often offsetting the cost of the loan.

ABOUT TWO PRIME LENDING

Two Prime Lending Limited, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, is the premier debt financing provider for digital asset markets. The company’s extensive relationships in capital markets and access to over $2.5B in capital have made it the most trusted name for miners, asset managers, family offices, and retail lenders. With a team of seasoned professionals combining decades of financial industry experience with deep crypto market knowledge, Two Prime Lending delivers sophisticated and competitive lending solutions that enable growth and opportunity for its clients.
