BitGo, Qredo, and Cactus Custody will help MetaMask Institutional onboard major clients, creating a DeFi onramp for institutional investors.
Institutional DeFi Onramp
MetaMask has inked three new partnership deals to bring greater institutional involvement in Decentralized Finance (DeFi).
BitGo, Qredo, and Cactus Custody will integrate with MetaMask Institutional (MMI), a standalone MetaMask product for institutional investors. MMI is designed to fulfill the needs of crypto funds, market makers, and trading desks.
The integration will allow organizations to leverage custodians in concert with MMI – creating an institutional onramp for DeFi. Mike Belshem, the CEO of BitGo, explained the benefits of the deal.
“As the DeFi ecosystem matures, many of our institutional clients are interested in actively participating,” Belshe said in a press release on Monday, October 5th. “MetaMask is the gold standard of DeFi wallets, and the integration of MetaMask Institutional with BitGo wallets allows for key management and custom policies to remain in BitGo, while MMI acts as an interface between our wallet platform and all dapps.”
Custodial solutions constitute a significant feature of institutional crypto. Custodians hold the fiduciary responsibility of storing private keys and deciding whether to approve or decline transactions. MetaMask’s partnership with BitGo, Qredo, and Cactus Custody makes institutional involvement in DeFi much easier.
“MetaMask Institutional’s focus is to provide unrivaled access to DeFi even in the face of rigorous institutional requirements. Qualified custodians and custody technology play a fundamental part in these requirements,” said Johann Bornman, Product Lead for MMI.
