Wintermute launches DeFi vault curation platform Armitage, supporting a wider range of collateral types On May 19th, according to The Block, cryptocurrency market maker Wintermute launched Armitage, a DeFi vault curation platform that designs unmanaged vaults for different risk preferences to access decentralized lending opportunities. Wintermute stated that Armitage can accept "collateral types that cannot be supported by other curators" based on its market making business and clearing execution capabilities. The announcement states that KYC is not required for user deposits, and the control of funds is still retained by the user. As institutions continue to deploy vault strategies such as Morpho on Ethereum and Kamino on Solana, vaults are becoming an important tool for institutions to participate in the cryptocurrency market.
