EquiLend Takes Minority Stake in Digital Prime to Connect Securities Finance With Tokenized Markets

The move signals preparation for institutionally governed workflows under increasing regulatory engagement.

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.
