Maple Launches on Base to Shape the Future of Institutional on-chain Finance
Maple Finance launches on Base, the innovative Layer 2 blockchain incubated by Coinbase.
Maple Finance, the leading institutional on-chain capital marketplace, is pleased to announce its official launch on Base, the innovative Layer 2 blockchain incubated by Coinbase Technologies, Inc. (“Coinbase”). This marks a significant milestone for institutional users who can now seamlessly access the world of on-chain capital markets.
Maple's integration with Base will provide institutional grade fixed income opportunities within a seamlessly integrated technology stack. At launch, Maple will make its Cash Management opportunity, managed by Room40 Capital, available for qualified users to access short duration US Treasury yields. Over time, the Maple platform will introduce exclusive structured and private credit opportunities, grounded in institutional grade underwriting, on-chain security, and sourced from tier-1 institutional counterparties. Traditional institutional debt capital markets will become connected with on-chain financial markets to push the world further into open financial systems.
"Maple and Coinbase share a common vision of extending the advantages of blockchain technology to global capital markets. Maple’s launch on Base reflects our commitment to a future where institutional capital and decentralized finance blend seamlessly," said Joe Flanagan, Co-founder of Maple.
Maple is dedicated to expanding access to capital market opportunities by combining traditional financial risk-management with the transformative capabilities of blockchain technology. This commitment has enabled hundreds of institutions to enter the digital asset space, channeling over $2.8 billion in capital since launch in May 2021. Maple is known for offering digital asset lending opportunities that align with the allocation needs of institutional investors, including credit funds, corporate treasuries, and high-net-worth individuals.
Through Maple Finance, built on Base, and utilizing the broader Coinbase infrastructure suite, institutional credit markets are further accessible on-chain. With continued innovation, finance will become more trustworthy, open, and accessible for institutions worldwide.
