The integration of traditional finance and the crypto market takes another step forward. A leading global securities financing infrastructure company, managing approximately $40 trillion in lendable assets, recently announced a strategic minority equity investment in a regulated digital asset financing service provider. This marks an important move by traditional financial institutions into crypto financing infrastructure.

The key focus of this investment is tokenized assets. The collaboration will concentrate on building an institutional lending network, anchoring the future development of tokenized assets and digital markets. This means that the liquidity for financing, once confined to traditional finance, is now extending into the Web3 world. The development of institutional-grade crypto financing infrastructure is crucial for the standardized growth of the token economy.

Currently, the crypto market is experiencing a turning point—from being driven by retail investors to increased institutional participation. New paradigms such as tokenized assets and on-chain financing are attracting more and more traditional financial players. This reflects market participants' recognition of the maturity of Web3 financial infrastructure.
