Membrane Labs has launched an institutional-grade risk engine purpose-built for lenders operating in digital asset markets. Powered by Bitpulse, a leader in crypto underwriting and quantitative risk infrastructure, the system delivers real-time VaR analysis, position stress testing, portfolio exposure modeling, and other tools to empower institutions to thrive in the open economy.
“Institutions can’t afford blind spots when billions move at blockchain speed,” said Carson Cook, Founder & CEO of Membrane Labs. “Our risk engine brings clarity and actionability to risk management—without requiring clients to build a quant team from scratch.”
The risk engine equips institutional credit and risk teams with the tools to quantify VaR, simulate stress scenarios, and analyze exposures with greater speed and precision. Fully integrated into Membrane’s loan and collateral management infrastructure, these capabilities enhance real-time visibility across the entire credit lifecycle, streamlining decision-making and improving operational efficiency and visibility.
James Roth, Chief Revenue Officer at Membrane, noted: “We’re thrilled to bring next-generation risk management to the forefront of digital asset lending with the launch of our institutional-grade risk engine, built on advanced predictive analytics from Bitpulse. Their platform meets the rigor of the most sophisticated, regulated credit environments, empowering our clients with real-time insights, advanced scenario modeling, and the confidence to navigate even the most complex market conditions.”
Digital asset lending continues its strong recovery following the 2022 crisis, with a new emphasis on risk management. Membrane’s loan management suite has seen over $10B in loan bookings since inception, with bookings in the year to date over twice those for all of 2024.
Membrane’s Strategic Partnership with Bitpulse
In partnership with Bitpulse, Membrane’s risk engine is powered by Bitpulse’s Risk Engine API suite, a leader in quantitative risk infrastructure, bringing advanced analytics directly into Membrane’s institutional workflows. The partnership will continue to expand as both firms deepen their commitment to powering the growing institutional crypto credit markets.
Or Sivan, Chief Executive Officer at Bitpulse, notes: “We’re thrilled to partner with Membrane Labs to push the boundaries of institutional risk tooling. This collaboration is a step forward in realizing our shared vision for a transparent, data-driven, and open financial system.“
