Digital-asset prime broker FalconX said it had closed a Bitcoin-backed financing facility that’s part of a “broader credit framework” with Cantor, through which it plans to draw more than $100 million. Maple also said it closed the first tranche of a facility with Cantor, according to a separate statement viewed by Bloomberg.

"Digital assets have lacked the institutional-grade credit infrastructure that's essential to well-functioning capital markets," FalconX's Head of U.S. Sales Josh Barkhordar said in a separate statement. "This collaboration between Cantor and a crypto-native firm represents a significant step toward building that framework, enabling digital assets to function with the same depth and reliability as traditional markets."
