Orthogonal Credit formerly worked at Maple Finance as a pool delegate, running the Orthogonal Credit USDC01 lending pool, which extended uncollateralized loans primarily to market makers and arbitrage firms. The pool assessed borrower creditworthiness and contractual terms directly, targeting funds and proprietary trading desks as counterparties.
Orthogonal Credit was formerly affiliated with Orthogonal Trading as its credit business. In December 2022, Maple terminated its relationship with Orthogonal Trading after that entity defaulted on $36 million in loans. Orthogonal Credit stated at the time that it operated as a structurally separate unit and had no knowledge of the alleged misrepresentation of Orthogonal Trading's exposure to FTX. A British Virgin Islands court placed Orthogonal Trading into provisional liquidation in December 2022 following an application by M11 Credit and Maple, a proceeding that concerned Orthogonal Trading and did not constitute a finding of wrongdoing against Orthogonal Credit.
Orthogonal Credit issued no new loans after ties with Orthogonal Trading were severed. By March 31, 2023, the USDC01 pool had entered run-off, accepting no new deposits and directing idle liquidity solely toward withdrawals. The account's last recorded publication activity dates to December 5, 2022, and no evidence of resumed operations has been found. Orthogonal Credit has published 66 posts and has 547 followers as of September 2026. Orthogonal Credit has been mentioned by 7 accounts, with 21 total mentions.
