Firefish Partners with London Stock Exchange

PRAGUE, [February 13, 2026] — Firefish, a non-custodial Bitcoin-backed peer-to-peer lending marketplace, announced today it is now providing interest rate data to global financial professionals through the London Stock Exchange Group's (LSEG) Workspace analytics platform.

Firefish is the only Bitcoin-backed lending platform currently integrated into LSEG's infrastructure.

LSEG Data & Analytics serves over 40,000 customers and 400,000 end users across approximately 190 markets worldwide.

Through this integration, Workspace users now have access to daily volume-weighted average interest rates from the Firefish marketplace across all currencies and tenors, bringing the same level of transparency to Bitcoin credit markets that exists for traditional asset classes.

"We're bringing a new level of transparency to the rapidly evolving Bitcoin-backed credit market by publishing Firefish interest rates across all currencies and tenors," said Igor Neumann, Co-founder and COO of Firefish.

"Financial professionals can access Firefish tenor and curve-level data, benchmark it against the market, analyze spreads, and track historical performance. Bitcoin credit deserves the same transparency as any mature financial market."

The integration enables LSEG Workspace users to access tenor-level and curve-level data suitable for charting and analysis, conduct spread comparisons between Firefish curves and various market benchmark rates, and export data to Excel for custom analysis.

This positions bitcoin-backed credit alongside traditional financial instruments in terms of data accessibility and analytical capabilities.

Firefish operates as a peer-to-peer marketplace connecting borrowers seeking liquidity against bitcoin collateral with lenders seeking yield. The platform uses 3-of-3 multisig escrow technology to maintain user custody while facilitating transactions.

Since launch, Firefish has facilitated over $160 million in notional value with 4,400+ BTC collateralized across 27,000 users spanning over 70 countries.

Firefish is backed by Bitcoin mining leader Braiins and VC firm Miton and maintains regulatory compliance including MiCA authorization in the European Union.

About Firefish

Firefish is a global, non-custodial, peer-to-peer marketplace for bitcoin-backed loans. The platform enables users to borrow against Bitcoin collateral without selling their holdings, or to provide liquidity for such loans in fiat currencies and stablecoins.

The Firefish protocol is Bitcoin-native and operates using a 3-of-3 multisig escrow structure with pre-defined on-chain transactions and publicly auditable source code.

This design eliminates rehypothecation and minimizes counterparty risk. Founded by bitcoiners Martin Matejka and Igor Neumann, Firefish is building secure, transparent infrastructure to position Bitcoin as prime collateral in modern financial markets.
