Introducing the Maple Borrower Hub: the Operating Layer for Institutional Borrowing Onchain

From the largest institutional decentralised finance (DeFi) lender, the Borrower Hub sets the standard for how DATs, public companies, miners, trading firms, and prime brokers access capital onchain.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Maple, the leading institutional asset management platform in DeFi, today launched the Borrower Hub: the operating layer for how institutions access capital onchain. The Borrower Hub pairs Maple's smart contract credit infrastructure with an institutional-grade operating experience, closing the gap between DeFi credit and institutional credit operations. Smart contracts power the credit. The Borrower Hub powers the experience. Together, they combine the speed, transparency, and composability of DeFi with the access, security, compliance, and management that institutional capital requires.

Maple is the largest institutional DeFi lender, with active borrowers including digital asset treasuries (DATs), public companies, miners, trading firms, and prime brokers. Until now, institutions accessing onchain credit have been forced to operate through disconnected interfaces - reconciling positions across multiple tools, routing every action through a single wallet, and stretching treasury and ops teams to work in environments that were never built for them. The Borrower Hub is the first platform purpose-built for how institutional borrowers actually operate.

From a single platform, treasury, ops, and finance teams can run their entire onchain credit function: multi-entity organisation views with real-time visibility across every loan and legal entity, live loan health metrics with margin call and liquidation thresholds, and in-portal onchain actions - accepting loans, making payments, refinancing, managing users - without leaving the platform. By replacing wallet-only access with email authentication and granular user permissions, the Borrower Hub becomes operable by ops and treasury teams that may not be DeFi-native, without sacrificing the audit trail institutional treasury functions require. Security and compliance requirements are preserved end-to-end, while borrowers gain everything onchain credit makes possible: real-time data, full transparency, and 24/7 operations and settlement.

"Maple is at the center of how the largest institutions access capital onchain," said Sidney Powell, CEO and co-founder, Maple. "The Borrower Hub is how they'll operate - smart contract credit, paired with an institutional experience that gives treasury teams real-time visibility and the controls they need. This is the future of lending, and we are shipping it first."

The new Maple Borrower Hub is now live, and the previous dashboard will remain available until June 30, 2026.
