Does it sound like DeFi is just a playground for retail investors? In fact, many institutions are also looking at it; they hope for more stable and predictable cash flows. Treehouse plays a bridging role in this process.
In traditional finance, institutions are accustomed to relying on fixed income instruments like government bonds or commercial paper, but there are no corresponding tools in the crypto world. Treehouse has started to build such tools, with tAssets to lock in yields, DOR to provide market standards, and potentially more complex products in the future, such as interest rate swaps, fixed income notes, or even on-chain bonds.
Behind Treehouse, there is not only support from the DeFi community but also funding from a traditional asset management background. In other words, it attracts not just on-chain players but also larger institutions with more capital. This background enables it to drive the realization of a "real on-chain fixed income market" rather than just toy-level yield products.
So, when you hear someone say "on-chain you can earn yields as safe as government bonds," it’s not just an empty claim. Treehouse is working towards this direction, and in the future, we may see more mature on-chain assets, similar to bond ETFs in traditional finance, but existing on the blockchain, transparent and quickly settled.
