LMAX Group has launched Kiosk, a hosted portal that lets institutions place digital assets in LMAX Custody and use them as collateral. The company said that the service supports trading across foreign exchange, metals, derivatives, perpetual futures, and crypto markets.
According to the report, the company allows clients to post digital assets as collateral for various trading products. This encompasses spot FX, precious metals, contracts for difference, perpetual futures, and other instruments available in the crypto market.

LMAX Kiosk Connects Crypto Collateral With Trading Tools
Kiosk also aggregates a number of account tools into one central hub. According to LMAX, users may also manage deposits, withdrawals, API credentials, WalletConnect access, security settings, and treasury operations on the platform.
The platform integrates custody, security controls, and treasury management tools, according to LMAX Group. These features give institutions a controlled channel for collateral deployment and trading infrastructure.
This launch is part of the LMAX Group’s broader initiatives aimed at bridging the gap between traditional and digital finance. It provides another option for institutional investors to leverage their crypto assets across asset classes.
LMAX Group chief executive David Mercer said that efficient collateral will help modernize capital markets. He also stated that Kiosk provides an easy and compliant way for institutions to integrate digital assets into their core trading systems.
As more financial companies experiment with onchain collateral models, the product is gaining traction. The major institutions are currently looking into tokenized securities, money market funds, and other blockchain-based assets for trading support.
Digital Assets Drive New Tokenized Collateral Models
Binance recently partnered with Franklin Templeton to launch a similar institutional collateral program in early October. The model allows clients to use tokenized money market fund shares as collateral without moving the underlying assets out of regulated custody.
According to the investment manager, the structure enables institutions to receive yield on regulated fund holdings. That also allows those holdings to back digital asset trading activity while not leaving custody.
In addition, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation has been moving to tokenized securities. On May 4, the DTCC said that it would run a pilot in July ahead of a full launch in October.
Tokenized real-world assets would have similar ownership rights and investor protections as traditional assets, the DTCC said. This makes LMAX’s Kiosk an even more attractive addition to the ever-expanding collateral market for institutional platforms.
