Maple Finance and Elwood Technologies Partner to Bridge Institutional Credit Markets with On-Chain Solutions

Maple Finance, a crypto credit firm specializing in structured lending products, has partnered with Elwood Technologies to streamline institutional access to digital asset credit markets. The collaboration integrates Maple's on-chain lending platform with Elwood's execution and risk management tools, targeting banks and asset managers seeking exposure to crypto credit.

Founded in 2021, Maple offers yield strategies built on public blockchains, while Elwood—backed by hedge fund manager Alan Howard—provides institutional-grade connectivity to exchanges and custodians. The alliance addresses fragmentation in crypto infrastructure, mirroring traditional market frameworks for professional investors.

Sid Powell, CEO of Maple, emphasized "institutional-grade" access to on-chain credit opportunities. Elwood's Chris Lawn noted crypto credit markets require mature infrastructure akin to other asset classes. The MOVE coincides with growing demand for tokenized credit products as traditional finance explores blockchain-based solutions.
