A finance request receiving module 110 receives one or more invoices corresponding to one or more supplied goods or one or more provided services from a supplier, receives a request for process of raising funds from a buyer. A financier seeking module 120 identifies a financier for financing the funds to the buyer. A supply chain financing module 130 generates a perpetual contract between the buyer and the financier for financing the funds, enables the financier in financing the funds with one or more currencies to the buyer for paying the supplier for each of the one or more supplied goods or the one or more provided services, enable the buyer to repay the funds to the financier with interest using the one or more currencies based on the perpetual contract generated for managing the supply chain finance. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for managing supply chain finance comprising: a processing subsystem hosted on a server and configured to execute on a network to control bidirectional communications among a plurality of modules comprising: a finance request receiving module configured to: receive one or more invoices corresponding to one or more supplied goods or one or more provided services from a supplier; and receive a request for process of raising funds from a buyer for the one or more supplied goods or the one or more provided services based on the one or more invoices received from the supplier; a financier seeking module operatively coupled to the finance request receiving module, wherein the financier seeking module is configured to identify a financier for financing the funds to the buyer based on the request received, wherein the funds corresponding to each of the one or more supplied goods or the one or more provided services is raised by the supplier; a supply chain financing module operatively coupled to the financier seeking module, wherein the supply chain financing module is configured to: generate a perpetual contract between the buyer and the financier to mitigate the currency volatility risk for financing the funds upon identification of the financier; enable the financier in financing the funds with one or more currencies to the buyer for paying the supplier for each of the one or more supplied goods or the one or more provided services based on the perpetual contract generated; and enable the buyer to repay the funds to the financier with interest using the one or more currencies based on the perpetual contract generated for managing the supply chain finance. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processing subsystem comprises a user verification module configured to verify the supplier for obtaining the funds using a know your customer verification process. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more invoices presented by the supplier are scanned using scanners and are converted into non-fungible tokens. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more currencies comprises a cryptocurrency and fiat currency. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the cryptocurrency comprises at least one of a Bitcoin, an Ethereum, a Dogecoin or a combination thereof. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the supply chain financing module is configured to receive one or more inputs associated with repayment process of the funds from the buyer, wherein the one or more inputs comprises a decision associated with depositing the funds using fiat currency, a decision associated with depositing the funds using cryptocurrency, a decision associated with depositing the funds using fungible tokens used to transact in the network, a risk mitigation strategy and payback terms. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the financier comprises at least one of a lending financial institution, a person or a combination thereof. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processing subsystem comprises a blockchain based platform for managing trading of supply chain finance. ### Claim 9 A system for managing retail finance comprising: a retail processing subsystem hosted on a server and configured to execute on a network to control bidirectional communications among a plurality of modules comprising: a finance request receiving module configured to: receive one or more borrowing or borrowers request corresponding to one or more crypto collaterals or one or more collateralized crypto assets from a borrower; and receive a request for process of raising funds from a borrower for the one or more crypto collaterals or the one or more collateralized crypto assets based on the one or more borrowing or borrower request received from the borrower;
