SYDNEY, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — [Vield](https://www.vield.io/), an Australian
crypto-backed lending platform, has partnered with [Integral](https://www.integral.com/),
a leading currency technology provider, to enhance its trading and risk management
capabilities through automated, institutional-grade execution technology.

Vield enables clients to use bitcoin as collateral to finance homes, cars and other
major purchases without selling their crypto holdings. Since launch, the company
has approved more than AUD 50 million in loans to over 1,000 clients with zero defaults.
As its loan book business scaled, Vield required institutional-grade technology 
to effectively manage cryptocurrency price movements and AUD currency risk.

Integral’s technology replaces a manual, multi-counterparty hedging process with
an automated and unified platform, giving Vield access to a wide range of crypto
and FX liquidity sources with aggregated pricing, advanced risk management, and 
24/7 execution. The result is more effective auto-hedging in volatile crypto markets
and a significant reduction in operational complexity – supporting the firm’s growth
as it scales its crypto-backed lending offering across Australia.

The ability to manage risk in an automated and real time manner across cryptocurrencies
and AUD is critical in the digital assets sector, where volatility can be significantly
higher than in traditional asset classes and can affect both performance and stability.
The partnership reflects the ongoing maturation of digital asset markets, with firms
increasingly investing in institutional-level infrastructure to manage risk and 
enhance transparency.

In Australia, [new digital asset regulations and strengthened licensing requirements](https://www.asic.gov.au/about-asic/news-centre/news-items/asic-s-roadmap-for-digital-assets-law-reform-implementation/)
introduced in April are expected to further accelerate demand for institutional-
grade operations and technology to ensure regulatory compliance.

**Johnny Phan, Co-Founder at Vield**, said: "As we have over AUD 50 million in approved
loans, serving our clients reliably and at scale has become more important than 
ever. Integral’s technology gives us institutional-grade execution and automation
that strengthens how we manage risk while supporting our growth ambitions."

**Harpal Sandhu, CEO at Integral**, commented: "As digital asset markets mature,
the resilience of a firm’s execution and risk infrastructure is becoming as important
as the products they offer. Integral’s technology brings institutional standards
to firms managing exposure in a market that never closes, and demand for that capability
is now accelerating across the APAC region."
