币界网报道:Cryptocurrency lending platform Maple Finance has teamed up with Lido Finance to provide institutional borrowers with stablecoin credit lines collateralized by Lido's liquid staking token (stETH). The partnership allows institutions to access liquidity without unstaking their ETH positions, as stETH can be used as collateral for loans underwritten by Maple's credit team. Lido's stETH represents staked ETH while remaining liquid for DeFi use. Maple CEO Sid Powell stated this addresses growing institutional demand for stETH-based capital strategies, enabling liquidity access while maintaining staked assets. The service supports treasury management, leveraged trading, and working capital needs. Maple, which manages $1.8B in assets, recently expanded into bitcoin-backed loans through a Cantor Fitzgerald partnership.
