The platform will provide clients with capital markets solutions, lending capabilities, and investment opportunities across multiple asset classes. The company said the launch aims to expand its role in the institutional credit market and provide clients with additional liquidity and financing.
Based on this institutional focus, StoneX Digital, part of StoneX Group, has provided a platform for lending digital assets to institutional traders. This feature allows customers to access liquidity without selling their cryptocurrency holdings. Bitcoin serves as the primary security, with other large-cap cryptocurrencies planned.
StoneX expands fixed income platform services
The new platform builds on StoneX’s fixed income sales and trading business. By combining market access, capital markets expertise, and structured financing capabilities, the company intends to help clients reach…
Liquidity and financing across traditional and emerging asset sectors.
The team will support a range of global structured finance activities. Its mandate includes providing banking advisory services, lending solutions, and investment opportunities in investment platforms and portfolios. Particular emphasis will be placed on non-traditional asset sectors, where flexible capital and structuring expertise can be critical.
“Clients are increasingly looking for partners who can help them navigate complex financing structures and unlock value across specialized asset classes,” said Robert LaForte, global head of fixed income sales at StoneX.
By expanding our banking securitization, lending and capital markets capabilities, we are building on the strength of our fixed income offerings to deliver more integrated financing and capital markets solutions.

StoneX has been developing the platform for over a year as an extension of its fixed income business. The company employs banking and Analytics Professionals to support global growth.
To lead the platform, StoneX has appointed Rob Sannicandro, a structured finance expert with over 20 years of experience building banking teams at major Wall Street institutions. Sanicandro will oversee the development of advisory, lending and investment capabilities.
