Digital Prime Technologies, a US based institutional technology provider for digital asset lending markets, announced a strategic investment from LTP, a global institutional digital asset prime brokerage, on 12 August. LTP joins existing strategic backers EquiLend, Galaxy Digital and Marex, the London headquartered commodities and financial services group, in building out Tokenet, Digital Prime Technologies' institutional lending and tokenised asset marketplace. For UK infrastructure builders watching where the plumbing of institutional tokenised asset markets is actually being built, this is a reminder that the consortium approach, stacking specialist prime brokers, liquidity providers and custody players around a single platform, is becoming the default model, and that Marex's presence gives London adjacent capital a direct stake in how it plays out. Under the deal, LTP will act as Tokenet's lead strategic partner across Asia Pacific, giving the platform access to LTP's network of borrowers, lenders and liquidity providers across a region Digital Prime Technologies has flagged as one of the fastest growing digital asset markets globally. LTP operates under licences and registrations across Hong Kong, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and the British Virgin Islands. "As Tokenet's global network continues to grow, adding a premier institutional prime brokerage with deep roots across Asia represents another important milestone," said James Runtoknels, chief executive of Digital Prime Technologies. LTP founder and chief executive Jack Yang said institutional markets "are becoming increasingly global, and digital asset lending must evolve beyond regional operating models," positioning Tokenet as infrastructure for standardised, round the clock institutional workflows. Tokenet's pitch, that institutional digital asset lending needs the same continuous, 24 hour operating model as the assets themselves rather than a patchwork of regional venues, echoes the argument UK infrastructure builders make for PISCES and tokenised gilts: markets built for always on settlement need always on plumbing underneath them. With strategic partners now spanning North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, Tokenet is a useful marker of how fast that plumbing is being assembled globally, even where the UK is not yet a direct participant. Key Takeaways Digital Prime Technologies added LTP as a strategic investor in its Tokenet institutional digital asset lending platform. LTP joins EquiLend, Galaxy Digital and Marex as strategic backers of Tokenet. LTP will lead Tokenet's expansion across Asia Pacific, holding licences in Hong Kong, Australia, the UAE and the British Virgin Islands. The deal reflects a wider institutional push toward continuous, always on digital asset lending infrastructure, a model UK tokenisation advocates cite as the direction of travel for regulated markets too.
