Demand to borrow against crypto is currently at an all-time high. A 2020 Credmark report found the crypto lending industry has over $40 billion in locked value.
BankProv is teaming up with CrossTower to support the industry’s need for USD funding to scale mining operations. Equipment loans will be financed through BankProv’s expanding Specialty Lending team and supported by CrossTower’s world class collateral management technology and underwriting standards.
