Overview
xPrime is an onchain prime brokerage that lets users unlock yield, leverage, and liquidity from their stock portfolio.
- Unified interface across earn, borrow, trade, hedge, spend against xStocks.
- Users simply specify their financial intent, and xPrime automatically recommends and executes.

Problem
- Massive idle equity capital (~\$100T in equities; \$30T-\$40T in retail brokers) with low yield
- Retail has limited access to advanced strategies like portfolio margin and structured products due to siloed brokerages, high capital requirements, and red tape.
- Prime brokerage is costly: Retail margin interest rate 5-12%. Leveraged ETFs charge 1% fee.
Solution: xPrime
xPrime is a prime brokerage rebuilt for the internet, enabling users to borrow against and earn yield on their stock portfolios, trade equities 24/5, and access entirely new onchain strategies such as tokenized structured products, perp basis, yield trading, and hedging.
Targeting crypto-native users first, then expanding to offchain retail via xPort.
