Investment follows Galaxy’s role as a launch participant on Tokenet, the institutional digital asset lending platform built by Digital Prime Technologies in partnership with EquiLend
Digital Prime Technologies, a provider of institutional digital asset technology solutions, announced a strategic investment from Galaxy Digital, a global leader in digital assets and data center infrastructure.
The investment builds on Galaxy’s existing relationship with Digital Prime Technologies as a launch participant on Tokenet, the institutional digital asset lending platform that went live in May 2026. Tokenet, developed in partnership with EquiLend, applies proven securities lending workflows, risk controls, and lifecycle management to digital assets, delivering the operational rigor required by institutional market participants.
Galaxy’s decision to invest reflects its assessment of Tokenet’s position as an emerging standard for institutional digital asset lending – a market that has historically operated without the governance and transparency structures that institutional participants require.

“The maturation of digital asset lending depends on infrastructure that institutions can trust from day one. Tokenet has been built with that bar in mind, and Galaxy’s investment in Digital Prime is a reflection of our confidence in both the platform and the team behind it,” said Max Bareiss, Head of Lending, Galaxy Digital.
“This investment validates what we set out to build: an institutional-grade platform that closes the gap between digital asset lending and the standards the traditional market already operates by. Having Galaxy as both a live participant and an investor reflects confidence in both the platform and the direction of the market,” said James Runnels, Co-Founder and CEO of Digital Prime Technologies.
“EquiLend’s partnership with Digital Prime was built on the recognition that institutional participants need a path into digital asset lending that doesn’t require them to compromise on operational standards. Galaxy’s investment in Digital Prime reinforces that the market is moving in that direction,” said Nick Delikaris, Chief Product Officer, EquiLend.
Digital Prime will use the investment to accelerate Tokenet’s development and expand its institutional client base. EquiLend’s global network continues to provide the distribution foundation for Tokenet to scale within the institutional lending community.
