Digital Prime Technologies ("DPT") has announced the further expansion of its digital asset financing marketplace's launch partner community, establishing what the company describes as a new institutional standard for digital and tokenized asset lending. The development represents a significant step in the convergence of traditional finance and digital assets, a trend that has accelerated as major banks, asset managers, and trading firms increasingly explore tokenized products and on-chain settlement.

The launch partners on Tokenet — DPT's digital asset financing marketplace — have committed to actively participating on the platform as it scales. Collectively, these partners bring more than $1 billion in institutional digital asset inventory and more than $1 billion in institutional borrowing demand, forming one of the deepest institutional lending ecosystems assembled to date in the digital asset sector. The commitment from established trading and financial firms comes as the digital asset lending market seeks to rebuild institutional confidence following the 2022 collapse of several high-profile crypto lenders that exposed the risks of opaque, thinly collateralized lending arrangements.

The launch partner group includes Galaxy Digital, Marex, LTP, Flow Traders, Clear Street, EDX Markets, Ripple Prime, QCP, GSR, and StoneX Digital. These firms have engaged with Digital Prime Technologies through strategic investments, advisory board participation, and long-term collaboration aimed at shaping the institutional digital asset lending landscape.

Tokenet provides institutions with a single, institutional-grade venue to source liquidity, manage inventory, and execute digital and tokenized asset loans across North America, Europe, and Asia. The platform is designed to replace the fragmented, bilateral lending relationships that have historically characterized the digital asset lending market, where institutions have relied on manual, over-the-counter arrangements without centralized price discovery or standardized risk management. The launch brings together traditional financial institutions and digitally native firms under a common lending framework.

DPT is working alongside strategic partner EquiLend, whose global securities finance infrastructure supports many of the world's largest financial institutions. EquiLend processes millions of securities lending transactions annually across the traditional securities finance market. Through this partnership, Digital Prime Technologies aims to extend established securities lending practices into the digital and tokenized asset space, offering traditional institutions familiar workflows while building market infrastructure and best practices for institutional digital asset lending.

James Runnels, CEO of Digital Prime Technologies, said: "We have brought together many of the most respected institutions in traditional finance and digital assets to build an institutional strength lending ecosystem this market has been waiting for. The collective liquidity, global reach, and commitment of these launch partners, establishes Tokenet as the infrastructure designed to power institutional digital asset lending at a global scale."

Rich Grossi, CEO of EquiLend, added: "Tokenet gives institutions a single, trusted venue to source liquidity and manage digital asset lending with the same rigor they expect from traditional markets. The scale and caliber of these launch partners, representing more than $1 billion in inventory and demand from day one, creates the infrastructure the market has been waiting for to advance their digital asset lending strategies."

With over $1 billion in lending inventory, more than $1 billion in indicative borrowing demand, and the participation of many of the industry's leading institutions, Tokenet is positioned as a foundational platform for the institutional digital and tokenized asset lending market. The platform's launch coincides with growing institutional interest in tokenized real-world assets, a segment that has drawn participation from firms including BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and others exploring blockchain-based fund structures and settlement.
