BPX integrates trading and lending services within a single institutional-grade marketplace, allowing institutions to unlock liquidity and capital efficiency through collateralised lending. Eligible assets, including investment funds and real-world assets, can be pledged as collateral to secure short-term liquidity without triggering sales or tax events. The lending service offers features such as posting cash lending rates with auto-trade options, engaging in Request For Quotations (RFQs) for custom trade agreements, and selecting collateral for auto-trade. This integrated lending layer increases operational efficiency and enhances access to liquidity in traditionally illiquid markets. For further details, visit the Trading Services page.
