Cantor Fitzgerald Enters Bitcoin Financing with $2B Initial Capital, Partners with Anchorage Digital and Copper as Custodians

  • Cantor Fitzgerald launches Bitcoin financing business with $2 billion in initial capital, partnering with Anchorage Digital and Copper as custodians.
  • The new offering will allow institutional investors to borrow against their Bitcoin holdings, amid growing demand for sophisticated crypto financing solutions.
  • Major financial institutions continue entering the crypto custody space, with Citi, State Street, and Deutsche Boerse planning to offer services by 2026.

Investment banking giant Cantor Fitzgerald has officially launched its Bitcoin financing business targeting institutional investors, selecting Anchorage Digital and Copper as its cryptocurrency custodians and collateral managers. The initiative begins with $2 billion in initial capital to support institutional borrowing against Bitcoin holdings.

According to a March 11 announcement, the two digital asset custodians will provide critical security infrastructure for the firm’s new crypto venture. Anchorage Digital operates the only federally chartered digital asset bank in the United States, while Copper brings backing from British multinational bank Barclays.

Copper CEO Amar Kuchinad emphasized the significance of this development, stating that the new offering will help institutional investors “diversify their portfolios” into digital assets, noting the “growing demand for sophisticated financing solutions” in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

This launch represents the culmination of plans first revealed in July last year when Cantor Fitzgerald announced intentions “to provide leverage to investors who hold Bitcoin.” The investment banking firm has since expanded its crypto market involvement, including acquiring a 5% ownership stake in stablecoin issuer Tether.

Cantor Fitzgerald currently manages more than $5 billion in assets according to the latest regulatory filings.

## Institutional Demand Persists Despite Market Volatility

The introduction of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs over a year ago uncovered substantial institutional appetite for Bitcoin exposure. By February, cryptocurrency exchange reserves had declined to two-year lows, primarily due to institutional purchasing activity.

Even amid the recent market correction triggered by U.S.-led tariff tensions and recession concerns, institutional Bitcoin investments continue growing, with Wall Street increasingly entering the digital asset custody space.

According to Forbes, financial giants Citi and State Street are developing cryptocurrency custody solutions expected to launch by 2026. Additionally, a Bloomberg report published on March 11 revealed that German exchange operator Deutsche Boerse plans to introduce Bitcoin and Ethereum custody services as soon as next month.

The growing involvement of traditional financial institutions in cryptocurrency custody and financing services signals a continuing maturation of the digital asset ecosystem, despite ongoing market volatility and regulatory uncertainties.
