Lendingblock has partnered with Caspian, a crypto trading platform, to enable market infrastructure for borrowing and lending digital assets to be scaled to institutions globally.

The integration between Lendingblock and Caspian will offer institutional investors that use Caspian’s order-execution management system across both digital assets and traditional capital markets the opportunity to access cryptocurrency lending markets for additional yield-enhancing opportunities.

Banks, market makers, hedge funds, asset managers and trading firms can now facilitate lending and borrowing across multiple digital assets for arbitrage, short selling, working
capital purposes and managing inventory.

Investors can also use Lendingblock’s risk-free lending yield curve as a data point to evaluate true price discovery of key assets.

Once live, Caspian clients will have access to additional liquidity through Lendingblock’s cryptocurrency lending markets and also have the ability to use stable coins as principal and collateral.

Robert Dykes, CEO and co-founder of Caspian, said: “Providing Caspian clients with access to a regulated, secure and transparent crypto to crypto lending exchange is closing an important gap in the market for institutional investors.â€

He added: “This partnership will drive forward the maturity of what is currently a nascent, fragmented and opaque crypto lending market and exemplifies a key step forward for the crypto industry.â€

Steve Swain, CEO of Lendingblock, commented: "The securities lending market is fundamental to traditional capital markets, providing market efficiency and helping the market function smoothly. Working with Caspian to provide funds and other institutions access to this lending infrastructure is fundamental to building out broader commercial adoption of digital assets."
