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 tokenised assets, digital securities, and crypto through Tokenet 鈥� Digital Prime鈥檚 network.
