Overview
- EquiLend disclosed a strategic minority investment in Digital Prime Technologies, and it did not reveal the amount.
- Collaboration centers on Digital Prime’s Tokenet, which the companies say supports multi-custodian and multi-collateral lifecycle management, exposure monitoring and institutional reporting.
- Planned next phases include introducing regulated stablecoin collateral and expanding to additional tokenized instruments.
- EquiLend’s CEO said the step is about readiness for the trajectory of tokenized markets rather than a shift away from the firm’s traditional finance client base.
- Executives cited growing engagement from regulators, exchanges and market utilities around tokenization as a key factor in the timing.
