Partnership aligns EquiLend’s infrastructure with tokenized assets, digital securities and stablecoins, delivering connectivity across Trading, Post-Trade and Data & Analytics to address evolving market structure and client workflow needs
EquiLend, a global financial technology, data and analytics company for the securities finance industry, announced a strategic investment in Digital Prime Technologies, a U.S.-regulated provider of institutional crypto financing and prime brokerage technology, to advance institutional tokenized-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 will enable workflows across trading, post-trade, and data, with an initial focus on institutional financing for tokenized 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 tokenized 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 modernizes.
“As digital asset adoption accelerates, market participants increasingly expect a seamless, unified experience across traditional and digital workflows. Institutions expect governance, transparency and straight-through processing in every asset class,” said Rich Grossi, CEO of EquiLend. “Investing in Digital Prime extends our infrastructure model to tokenized assets and digital markets, positioning us to support clients as our market structures evolves.”
Nick Delikaris, Chief Product Officer at EquiLend added “This investment enables us to extend EquiLend’s market-leading infrastructure into tokenized assets and cryptocurrencies, delivering the same transparency, institutional rigor, and automation that our clients rely on across our core platforms.”
“Digital Prime is built around institutional standards,” said James Runnels, Co-Founder and CEO of Digital Prime Technologies. “EquiLend’s investment and network will help us scale thoughtfully while we continue to prioritize compliance, risk management and transparency for clients.”
