New Institutional Stablecoin Lending Program to Boost stETH Utility

Maple Finance, a leading on-chain capital markets platform, has expanded its institutional offerings by enabling stablecoin lending against stETH, Lido’s popular Ethereum liquid staking token. This move allows institutional clients to unlock liquidity without unwinding their staked ETH positions, providing operational flexibility while continuing to earn staking rewards.

The addition of stETH as accepted collateral comes as institutions increasingly seek capital-efficient strategies to manage treasury operations and working capital without sacrificing long-term crypto holdings.

Through Maple’s platform, borrowers can secure stablecoin loans backed by stETH, addressing liquidity needs for activities such as trading, yield generation, or other strategic financial moves, all while retaining full exposure to ETH’s staking yield.

Kean Gilbert, Head of Institutional Relations at Lido Ecosystem Foundation, commented:

Maple’s support for stETH provides a valuable liquidity solution, directly addressing institutional need for flexible and efficient DeFi strategies. It highlights the practical role liquid staking tokens play in modern treasury management.

This development highlights the growing composability of DeFi tools in institutional finance, particularly liquid staking tokens like stETH, which bridge passive income and active capital deployment.

Maple’s adoption signals confidence in stETH’s role within the broader Ethereum ecosystem and reflects a wider trend of TradFi and crypto-native players embracing decentralized solutions to optimize balance sheet efficiency.
