Wall Street Heavyweight Cantor Dives Into Bitcoin Lending—FalconX and Maple Get First Bites
Traditional finance meets crypto yet again—this time with Wall Street’s Cantor Fitzgerald launching a Bitcoin lending operation. No more dipping toes; they’re going straight into the deep end with institutional players FalconX and Maple Finance snagging the first tranches.
Because nothing says ’mainstream adoption’ like legacy firms finally realizing they can’t ignore the asset class anymore. Expect more suits to follow—once they’ve finished ’evaluating the risk,’ of course.
Funny how the same institutions that once scoffed at Bitcoin are now scrambling to build the plumbing for it. The irony’s thicker than a Wall Street bonus.
