Galaxy Digital Backs Digital Prime Technologies to Expand Institutional Crypto Lending

Galaxy Digital has made a strategic investment in Digital Prime Technologies, the institutional digital asset technology firm behind Tokenet, a lending platform developed in partnership with EquiLend. The investment extends an existing relationship: Galaxy participated as a launch client when Tokenet went live in May 2026.

Tokenet applies securities lending workflows, risk controls, and lifecycle management to digital assets, aiming to bring the operational standards institutional investors expect in traditional markets to the digital asset lending space. EquiLend’s global network serves as the distribution foundation for the platform.

“The maturation of digital asset lending depends on infrastructure that institutions can trust from day one. 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.

Digital Prime co-founder and CEO James Runnels said the investment validates the firm’s goal of closing the gap between digital asset lending and the standards traditional markets already operate by. EquiLend chief product officer Nick Delikaris described the partnership as built around ensuring institutional participants can enter digital asset lending without compromising on operational rigor.

Digital Prime will use the capital to accelerate Tokenet’s development and expand its institutional client base.
