Antalpha plans to broaden its business lines as follow:
- XAUt–Collateralized Loans will begin accepting XAUt as collateral to improve collateral value stability for supply-chain financing;
- AI Compute Financing will begin providing institutional loans for investment in AI compute using AI GPUs as loan collateral; and
- Ethereum Margin Loans will expand Northstar’s margin loan offering on Antalpha Prime to enable borrowers to secure digital asset financing with Ethereum, in addition to Bitcoin.
