🚀 Institutions Drive DeFi with Solana and Tokenized Stocks 💼✨
Anchorage Digital, a leading crypto custody firm for institutions, has integrated DeFi capabilities into its institutional wallet Porto, allowing its clients to directly access on-chain liquidity and conduct token swaps through Uniswap, one of the most liquid DeFi protocols with over $4.5 billion in TVL. This integration provides institutions with a native, secure, and regulated DeFi experience, eliminating the need to use external applications and keeping private keys protected in secure hardware.
Porto, used by prominent clients such as Maple Finance, the Sui Foundation, and the decentralized exchange dYdX, now competes directly with other institutional platforms like Fireblocks and Consensys, standing out for its focus on regulation and security. This evolution reflects a growing trend of institutional adoption of DeFi, where banks, funds, and asset managers seek to actively participate in decentralized ecosystems without compromising regulatory compliance or risk management.
At the same time, DeFi Development Corp, a firm focused on Solana, announced plans to tokenize its public shares through a partnership with Kraken and the xStocks platform, demonstrating an institutional push towards tokenized assets and blockchain-native solutions.
Together, these movements consolidate a new momentum in DeFi, where speed, security, and regulation combine to attract major financial players towards a programmable and reliable financial future.
