Digital Prime Technologies has received a strategic investment from Galaxy Digital, a provider of digital assets and data centre infrastructure.
The investment builds on the firms’ existing relationship, with Galaxy an inaugural participant on Tokenet, an institutional digital asset lending platform built by Digital Prime in collaboration with EquiLend.
Tokenet applies proven securities lending workflows, risk controls, and lifecycle management to digital assets.
Galaxy’s investment is indicative of Tokenet’s position as an “emerging standard for digital asset lending”, with the market historically lacking the governance and transparency frameworks necessitated by institutional participants.
Max Bareiss, head of lending, Galaxy Digital, says: “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.”
James Runnels, co-founder and CEO of Digital Prime Technologies, comments: “Having Galaxy as both a live participant and an investor reflects confidence in both the platform and the direction of the market.”
Nick Delikaris, chief product officer, EquiLend, adds: “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.”
Digital Prime says it will use the investment to accelerate the development of Tokenet and expand its institutional client base.
