In a move reflecting growing institutional demand for liquidity solutions without relinquishing asset ownership, Psalion has launched Psalion Lend, a dedicated institutional platform. This new service allows clients to borrow against Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) with competitive interest rates starting at 5.5%. According to reports, the platform aims to provide cash liquidity to institutions while allowing them to maintain self-custody of their digital assets and ensure continued market exposure.
This launch comes as the digital lending sector shifts toward more secure models following crises that impacted centralized platforms in previous years. In comparison to peers, firms like Nexo and Coinbase offer similar solutions but often require varying levels of third-party custody. Per market data, offering a starting rate of 5.5% positions Psalion competitively to attract asset managers seeking to optimize capital efficiency without traditional counterparty risks.
