Cantor Fitzgerald has announced a groundbreaking $2 billion Bitcoin lending program, aiming to provide institutional investors with secure access to financing without liquidating their crypto holdings. CEO Howard Lutnick unveiled the program at the Bitcoin2024 conference in July, demonstrating significant support for Bitcoin by major financial players. This initiative stands out due to its substantial scale and collaboration with Anchorage Digital and Copper, trusted partners for providing secure infrastructure. The program leverages Cantor Fitzgerald’s expertise in securities and commodities to create a robust framework for Bitcoin financing. By offering this option, the firm hopes to increase institutional participation in cryptocurrency markets, which could pave the way for wider adoption of Bitcoin within traditional finance systems.
