Maple Finance has partnered with Lido Finance to offer stablecoin credit lines backed by stETH, a liquid staking token representing staked ETH.<\/p>\n
The move will let institutions borrow stablecoins without unstaking their Ethereum (ETH), preserving exposure to Ethereum staking rewards while unlocking liquidity.<\/p>\n
The new offering, shared with crypto.news, is designed for institutional users seeking to optimize capital efficiency. Through Maple\u2019s credit platform, borrowers can use stETH as collateral for underwritten stablecoin loans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The credit lines are designed to support use cases such as treasury management, conservative leverage strategies, and short-term working capital needs.<\/p>\n

Lido\u2019s stETH token is widely used in Ethereum\u2019s liquid staking ecosystem, allowing users to earn staking rewards while retaining a tradable asset. By accepting stETH as collateral, Maple (SYRUP) enables institutions to avoid the opportunity cost of unstaking and instead access capital while continuing to earn ETH rewards.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis partnership formalizes a growing demand from institutions already using stETH in their capital strategies,\u201d said Sid Powell, CEO and Co-Founder of Maple. \u201cBy enabling loans backed by stETH, we\u2019re making it easier for institutions to access liquidity while keeping their core assets staked and productive.\u201d<\/p>\n
The collaboration reflects an evolving DeFi trend: building credit infrastructure around tokenized, yield-generating assets. It also signals increased institutional comfort with DeFi-native collateral such as stETH, which maintains broad liquidity and integration across Ethereum protocols.<\/p>\n
Maple\u2019s in-house credit team will underwrite the loans, according to the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
