Marex Makes Strategic Investment in Digital Prime Technologies to Accelerate Tokenet Platform

Digital Prime Technologies Inc., a provider of institutional digital asset technology solutions, announced today a strategic investment from Marex Group Limited (Nasdaq: MRX), the diversified global financial services platform offering market access, infrastructure services, and liquidity across global commodity and financial markets. The investment strengthens the existing relationship between the two firms and is designed to accelerate the development and adoption of Tokenet, an institutional-grade digital and tokenized asset lending marketplace.

Tokenet, developed in partnership with EquiLend, applies proven securities lending workflows, risk controls, and lifecycle management to digital and tokenized assets. The platform aims to deliver the operational rigor, governance, and transparency required by institutional market participants. Marex, Digital Prime Technologies, and Galaxy Digital are working with EquiLend to establish institutional infrastructure that enables traditional financial institutions to participate in digital asset lending with confidence. By extending the familiar operating models and controls that banks, broker-dealers, asset managers, and custodians already rely upon, Tokenet allows firms to expand into digital asset lending while remaining consistent with their existing operational, risk, and compliance frameworks.

The investment addresses a long-standing challenge for traditional financial institutions: how to participate in a new asset class without abandoning the operational discipline, regulatory rigor, and risk management frameworks that define their existing business practices. Tokenet is positioned as a direct answer to that challenge, offering a bridge between conventional securities finance and the emerging digital asset market.

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."

James Runnels, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Digital Prime Technologies, said: "This investment reinforces our vision of creating the institutional operating model for digital asset lending. 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 strengthen the platform's capabilities for the global digital and tokenized asset lending market. 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 worldwide to adopt digital assets with greater confidence, efficiency, and operational consistency.
