<p>In an attempt to generate gains, ex-Cantor Fitzgerald executives have made a move toward the promising Exchange-Traded Funds saga.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Digital Prime Technology team announced the launch of a crypto lending platform that serves operations dealing with spot Bitcoin ETFs upon approval by the SEC. The new Tokenet platform aims at capitalizing on the institutional interest of the awaited ETF successful negotiations.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-07/ex-cantor-execs-launch-lending-platform-for-anticipated-spot-bitcoin-btc-etfs?embedded-checkout=true" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Tokenet platform </a>is expected to service the influx of institutional investors who are expected to flood the market once the US Securities and Exchange Commission says yes to the Bitcoin-spot ETF application by major crypto players. Among them include Grayscale, BlackRock, and VanEck spot Bitcoin ETF applications that have been seen to influence BTC’s market value, fostering its recent rally.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The platform was launched by a group of executives who had served as leaders of the financial service firm Cantor Fitzgerald. Since joining a new brokerage firm, Digital Prime Technologies, the team of execs has showcased their vision of offering a new technology for the crypto space, Tokenet.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Runners is the ex-managing director of Cantor Fitzgerald and is now the COO of Digital Prime Technology, and Bob Sherry was Cantor’s COO up until 2018. Glen Garofalo was the head of margin at Cantor, based on his profile on LinkedIn.</p>
<p>Following a statement by Tokenet on <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/digital-prime-technologies-launches-tokenet-redefining-institutional-digital-asset-lending-301980234.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">November 7</a>, the platform will allow firms to borrow digital assets, lend to these investors, and manage their collateral positions. This will be done by the future of risk management, which serves as an essential tool for institutional investors.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The future will allow these firms to mitigate counterparty risk that was often in traditional finance.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Among the companies backing Digital Prime Technology’s new platform (Tokenet) include DV Chain, EDX Clearing, Xapo Bank, and Hidden Road Partners. According to James Runnels, Digital Prime Tech’s CEO and co-founder:</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="tokenet-joining-crypto-lending">Tokenet joining crypto lending</h2>
<p>The new lending platform joins a handful of companies that are looking to embrace investor funding services following the collapse of other big lending corporations like BlockFi, Celsius Network, and Voyager Digital.&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the other hand, crypto exchange giants like Binance and Coinbase have also led into lending services, explaining their understanding of crypto lending mistakes made during the financial disaster in 2022 that left most high-profile crypto players bankrupt.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tokenet is the beginning of a wider enthusiasm in the digital currency space, and experts have also weighed in on the implications of such developments towards Bitcoin ETFs. According to a Bloomberg ETF analyst, the likelihood of an approval by the SEC stands at 90% before the first quarter of 2024.&nbsp;</p>
<p>James Seyffart, a top crypto expert, expressed his comments via a post on X, stating his views on ETF checking, and revealed the first section of his note with Eric Balchunas.&nbsp;</p>
