Another new way to earn yield on BTC, and this time it’s targeting institutional wallets. Maestro has launched an on-chain credit market called Mezzanine. In simple terms: institutions can lend money to mining farms that use clean energy and earn BTC as interest. This solves two pain points: 1. Compliant institutions want BTC returns but find DeFi too risky and holding BTC too passive. 2. Green mining farms want to expand but lack access to cheap, long-term funding. Now, the two sides are connected on-chain. Basically, it’s turning the heavy-asset, high-volatility mining business into a cleaner fixed-income product through financial engineering. This is paving the way for the next wave of compliant, conservative big money. Bitcoin Mining RWA
