In this week’s episode, we spoke with James Runnels and Andy Hoffman of Digital Lending Capital Corp (DLCC), an exciting startup offering full-service prime brokerage solutions which will enable traditional institutions from the world of legacy finance to transact, borrow and lend digital assets. The expanding ecosystem of digital assets and growing recognition among the finance industry of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, as a nascent asset class in its own right, render DLCC’s vision to connect institutional allocators, global macro hedge funds and other asset managers and allocators with the digital asset market especially relevant today.

We heard from James, who is the Co-Founder and CEO of DLCC, about his background in traditional finance and prime brokerage, his inspiration to found the company, how he got DLCC started, and where he envisions the startup’s growth will lead. Andy discussed his background in the cryptocurrency space, the current state of the digital asset market, the extent to which traditional institutions are involved in digital assets, the future of the asset class, as well as his outlook on the prime brokerage service providers, like DLCC, that aim to bridge the gap between legacy finance and digital assets.
