Galaxy Digital launched Galaxy Curator, a DeFi yield product for institutional stablecoins built on Morpho and distributed through Fireblocks' 2,400+ institutional clients. The product wraps DeFi lending in Wall Street-grade risk controls and operational workflows to lower the compliance friction that has kept institutional capital out of onchain yield.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech and Crypto & Web3.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're building custody, treasury operations, or collateral management tools for institutions, the compliance moat around onchain yield just collapsed. Galaxy has shown that the missing piece wasn't yield or protocols—it was plugging DeFi into the approval workflows institutions already use, and now five other firms are building the same play.
