The service allows institutional bitcoin holders to secure loans using their cryptocurrency as collateral, aiming to address liquidity needs while avoiding asset liquidation. Cantor emphasized the program’s focus on meeting demand from hedge funds, asset managers, and other large investors seeking structured crypto financing.

The bank partnered with digital asset custodians Anchorage Digital and Copper.co to safeguard client bitcoin holdings, citing their “proven security architecture” as critical to mitigating risks. Cantor did not disclose specific terms or interest rates but confirmed the business will operate under existing regulatory frameworks.

Brandon Lutnick, chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald, stated the move reflects the bank’s early recognition of digital assets’ role in global finance. Christian Wall, co-CEO and global head of fixed income, added that institutional investors increasingly require diversified funding options to support long-term crypto strategies.

The launch aligns with growing interest in crypto-backed financial services among traditional institutions. Major banks and asset managers have expanded offerings such as derivatives, custody, and lending in recent years as bitcoin gains acceptance as collateral.

Cantor, founded in 1945, has actively targeted crypto clients since 2018. The firm joins competitors like Galaxy Digital and others in providing large-scale bitcoin financing, though its $2 billion pledge marks one of the sector’s largest initial commitments.
