Digital Prime Technologies Inc., a provider of institutional digital asset technology solutions, today announced a strategic investment from Marex Group Limited, the diversified global financial services platform providing market access, infrastructure services and essential liquidity to clients across global commodity and financial markets.
The investment builds on Marex’s relationship with Digital Prime Technologies as a strategic participant on Tokenet, the global institutional-grade digital and tokenized asset lending marketplace developed in partnership with EquiLend. Tokenet applies proven securities lending workflows, risk controls, and lifecycle management to digital and tokenized assets, delivering the operational rigor, governance, and transparency required by institutional market participants.
Marex, Digital Prime Technologies and Galaxy Digital are working with EquiLend to establish the institutional infrastructure that will enable traditional financial institutions to confidently participate in digital asset lending. By extending the familiar operating models, controls, and workflows that banks, broker-dealers, asset managers, custodians, and other financial institutions already rely upon, Tokenet enables firms to expand into digital asset lending in a manner consistent with their existing operational, risk, and compliance frameworks.
For traditional financial institutions, the promise of digital assets has long been shadowed by a fundamental challenge: how do you participate in a new asset class without abandoning the operational discipline, regulatory rigor, and risk management frameworks that define how you do business? Tokenet answers that question.
Steve Hood, Head of Clearing Americas at Marex, commented: “The demand from institutional investors for digital assets is growing, and the tools we use to service clients need to be built with the high operational and risk management standards financial institutions already rely upon. Marex is proud to play a role in bringing those standards to digital asset lending, enabling more clients to access a wider suite of services.”
“This investment reinforces our vision of creating the institutional operating model for digital asset lending,” said James Runnels, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Digital Prime Technologies. “Marex brings decades of experience serving global financial institutions, and having them join us as both a strategic investor and participant further validates our mission of delivering the infrastructure that enables traditional finance to participate confidently in digital asset markets. Together with Marex and Galaxy Digital, and supported by EquiLend’s platform expertise, we are delivering a solution that allows institutions to extend their existing business models into digital assets without reinventing the way they operate.”
Digital Prime Technologies will use the investment to accelerate Tokenet’s product development, expand institutional connectivity, and further strengthen the platform’s capabilities for the global digital and tokenized asset lending market. Together with EquiLend’s extensive network and Marex’s institutional reach, Tokenet is well positioned to help shape the next generation of institutional market infrastructure, enabling financial institutions around the world to adopt digital assets with greater confidence, efficiency, and operational consistency.
