Institutions Seek Bitcoin Yield Aligning with Traditional Finance, Says GlobalStake Co-Founder
GlobalStake's Thomas Chaffee highlights that institutions prefer collateralized strategies for Bitcoin yield, favoring stability over risk.
According to Thomas Chaffee, co-founder of GlobalStake, the current resurgence of institutional interest in Bitcoin is largely fueled by a preference for collateralized and market-neutral strategies. Unlike the decentralized finance (DeFi) model or complex smart contracts, institutions are gravitating towards yield options that resemble traditional finance (TradFi) practices.
Chaffee emphasizes that these institutions are not looking to increase their risk exposure; instead, they are in search of more secure and reliable investment avenues within the Bitcoin ecosystem. This shift signifies a growing demand for yield strategies that align with conventional financial systems, ensuring that they can safely navigate the cryptocurrency landscape.
