GlobalStake: Institutions don't want more risk—they want bitcoin yield that works like TradFi, says GlobalStake co-founder

Collateralized, market-neutral strategies, not DeFi or smart contracts, are driving renewed institutional interest, says GlobalStake co-founder Thomas Chaffee. What to know : Institutional investors are showing renewed interest in bitcoin yield as new fully collateralized, market-neutral strategies address past concerns over smart-contract risk, leverage and opacity. GlobalStake has launched a Bitcoin Yield Gateway to aggregate multiple third-party yield strategies under a single institutional-grade onboarding and compliance framework, and expects about $500 million in BTC allocations within three months. Firms such as GlobalStake and Babylon Labs are building infrastructure to make bitcoin more productive for professional holders, either by generating yield or enabling native BTC to serve as non-custodial collateral across financial applications.(Coindesk)
