[Opinion: Institutional investors favor 'TradFi-like' BTC yield strategies, avoiding high risk] Odaily Planet Daily News - GlobalStake co-founder Thomas Chaffee stated that institutional investors' attitudes toward BTC yields are shifting. They are not pursuing higher risks but are seeking yield strategies similar to traditional finance (TradFi). Currently, fully collateralized and market-neutral strategies are replacing DeFi or smart contracts, reigniting institutional investors' interest. Thomas Chaffee pointed out that in the past, due to risks associated with smart contracts, leverage, and opaque strategies, institutional investors considered the risk-return ratio of BTC yield products to be unreasonable. With infrastructure evolution, hedge funds and financial departments are beginning to favor deployment methods that are familiar, compliant, and equipped with risk control systems. Rootstock Institutional head Richard Green also noted that BTC holders increasingly want their assets to generate yields. (CoinDesk)
