Australian crypto-backed lending platform Vield has partnered with currency technology provider Integral to automate its hedging, execution and risk management operations.

Vield has surpassed A$50 million in approved loans. As its loan book has grown, the company has shifted to automated systems to better manage cryptocurrency price movements and AUD currency risk.

The platform allows clients to use Bitcoin as collateral for major purchases, such as property or vehicles, without liquidating their digital asset portfolios.

The company reports serving over 1,000 clients to date with no loan defaults.

As the lending business expanded, the company needed a more robust way to manage price movements.

The integration with Integral replaces a manual hedging process involving multiple counterparties with a single automated platform.

This gives Vield access to aggregated pricing and liquidity across cryptocurrency and foreign exchange markets with 24/7 automated execution.

Scaling Vield’s lending operations

The ability to monitor and hedge risk in real time is a core requirement in the digital asset sector. Price swings can quickly impact a lender’s stability.

Vield expects the automated execution to simplify its operations while providing better protection against market volatility.

“Integral’s technology gives us institutional-grade execution and automation that strengthens how we manage risk while supporting our growth ambitions,”

said Johnny Phan, Co-Founder, Vield.

Recent digital asset regulations and strengthened licensing requirements introduced in April are encouraging firms to adopt more resilient infrastructure.

The technology upgrade aligns with this broader industry shift toward stronger operational standards.

“As digital asset markets mature, the resilience of a firm’s execution and risk infrastructure is becoming as important as the products they offer,”

said Harpal Sandhu, CEO, Integral.
