Cryptocurrency lending firm Maple Finance has partnered with crypto staking specialist Lido Finance to offer stablecoin credit lines backed by collateral in the form of Lido’s liquid staking token (stETH), the companies said on Thursday.The collaboration gives institutions the ability to borrow stablecoins without having to unwind their staked ETH positions. Borrowers can use stETH as collateral for credit lines underwritten by Maple’s in-house credit team, according to a press release. Lido’s stETH is a liquid version of staked ETH that can be put to work in decentralized finance (DeFi), while still earning rewards from staking
