Nomura Holdings and Park Square Capital have entered a strategic alliance to originate and distribute private credit in the United States. The partnership combines Park Square’s European private credit platform with Nomura’s US capital markets franchise. No further detail on structure, launch timing, or target sectors was disclosed in the brief announcement.
The deal extends both firms into cross-border private credit distribution at a time when tokenisation of loan assets is beginning to move from pilot to production in parts of Asia and Europe. Nomura has run proof-of-concept tokenised bond issuance in Japan, and Park Square’s interest suggests loan originators see secondary liquidity as a differentiation lever. Whether this alliance contemplates on-chain settlement or fractionalised loan participation remains to be seen.
