EquiLend, a financial technology, data, and analytics company for the securities finance industry, has made a strategic investment 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 plan to 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. The Tokenet solution provides multi-custodian and multi-collateral life-cycle management, exposure monitoring and institutional reporting, with future phases deploying regulated stablecoin collateral and additional tokenised instruments.
Early priorities include aligning workflows with EquiLend’s NGT and the 1Source post-trade platform, with aggregated activity routed to EquiLend’s Data & Analytics to increase market transparency and operational efficiency as settlement cycles compress and financing activity modernises.
Digital Prime operates US-registered, regulated entities that serve institutional participants in digital-asset lending and financing.
