Maple, the leading on-chain asset manager, has announced a strategic integration with Lido Finance to offer stablecoin credit lines backed by stETH collateral. The initiative allows institutional borrowers to unlock liquidity while maintaining exposure to ETH staking rewards.
This collaboration gives institutions the ability to borrow stablecoins without having to unwind their staked ETH positions. Borrowers can use stETH, one of the most trusted and widely adopted liquid staking tokens on Ethereum, as collateral for credit lines underwritten by Maple’s in-house credit team.
“This integration formalizes a growing demand from institutions already using stETH in their capital strategies,” said Sid Powell, CEO and Co-Founder of Maple. “By enabling loans backed by stETH, we’re making it easier for institutions to access liquidity while keeping their core assets staked and productive.”
The offering serves a range of institutional use cases including treasury runway extension, conservative leverage trading, and short-term working capital. It is designed to optimize capital efficiency while maintaining staking rewards.
