The platform will offer clients capital markets solutions,
lending capabilities, and investment opportunities across multiple asset
classes. The firm said the launch is intended to expand its role in the
institutional credit market and offer clients additional liquidity and
financing.
Building on this institutional focus, StoneX
Digital, part of StoneX Group, has introduced a digital asset lending platform
for institutional traders. The feature lets clients access liquidity
without selling crypto holdings. Bitcoin is the initial collateral, with other
large-cap cryptocurrencies planned.
StoneX Extends 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 firm intends to help clients access
liquidity and financing across both traditional and emerging asset sectors.
The team will support a range of global structured finance
activities. Its mandate includes banking advisory services, lending solutions,
and investment opportunities in 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 capabilities in securitization banking, lending, and
capital markets, we are building on the strength of our fixed income offering
to deliver more integrated financing and capital markets solutions.”
StoneX Names Head for Structured Finance
StoneX has been developing the platform for over a year as
an extension of its fixed income business. The firm is actively hiring banking
and analytics professionals to support global growth.
To lead the platform, StoneX has appointed Rob Sannicandro,
a structured finance veteran with more than 20 years of experience building
banking teams at major Wall Street institutions. Sannicandro will oversee the
development of advisory, lending, and investment capabilities.
