StoneX Digital, part of StoneX Group, has introduced a digital asset financing platform for institutional investors. It adds to StoneX’s existing digital intermediation and financing toolkit as traditional and digital markets continue to converge.
This financing capability positions StoneX Digital as a bridge between the traditional financial system and the emerging crypto market. The company already offers its customers spot trading, exchange-traded funds, and futures trading related to digital assets within an established institutional framework.

This feature allows clients to gain liquidity without having to liquidate their crypto holdings, supporting integrated trading and investment strategies.
“Customers are looking for efficient ways to access liquidity while maintaining exposure to digital assets,” said Brian Mulcahy, CEO of StoneX Digital. “This lending capability builds on StoneX’s existing brokerage and risk management infrastructure and supports clients integrating digital asset finance into their broader portfolio strategies.”
