EquiLend has invested in Digital Prime Technologies, a US regulated provider of institutional crypto financing and prime brokerage technology, to advance institutional tokenised-asset and digital-markets infrastructure.
The investment responds to accelerating market structure changes and client demand for governed, transparent, straight-through workflows across lending, and financing in traditional and digital instruments.
Together, EquiLend and Digital Prime will enable workflows across trading, post-trade, and data, with an initial focus on institutional financing for tokenised assets, digital securities, and crypto through Tokenet — Digital Prime’s network.
Tokenet provides multi-custodian and multi-collateral lifecycle management, exposure monitoring, and institutional reporting, with future phases deploying regulated stablecoin collateral and additional tokenised instruments.
James Runnels, co-founder and CEO of Digital Prime Technologies, says: “EquiLend’s investment and network will help us scale thoughtfully while we continue to prioritise compliance, risk management and transparency for clients.”
Early priorities include aligning workflows with EquiLend’s Next Generation Trading (NGT) and the 1Source post-trade platform, with aggregated activity routed to EquiLend’s Data and Analytics to increase market transparency and operational efficiency as settlement cycles compress and financing activity modernises.
Rich Grossi, CEO of EquiLend, states: “As digital asset adoption accelerates, market participants increasingly expect a seamless, unified experience across traditional and digital workflows.
“Institutions expect governance, transparency and straight-through processing in every asset class.
“Investing in Digital Prime extends our infrastructure model to tokenised assets and digital markets, positioning us to support clients as our market structures evolves.”
Nick Delikaris, chief product officer at EquiLend, adds: “This investment enables us to extend EquiLend’s market-leading infrastructure into tokenised assets and cryptocurrencies, delivering the same transparency, institutional rigor, and automation that our clients rely on across our core platforms.”
