Mezo Prime launches secure Bitcoin yield vaults
Mezo, with Anchorage Digital and Bullish, launched Mezo Prime to let institutions securely earn yield on Bitcoin via segregated vaults, marking a shift toward institutional onchain finance.
Mezo has introduced Mezo Prime, a new solution tailored for institutional holders and corporate treasuries seeking to generate yield from their Bitcoin holdings while maintaining strict custody and risk controls. Developed in partnership with Anchorage Digital Bank and supported by an initial 250 BTC investment from Bullish, Mezo Prime features segregated vaults known as Enclaves. These Enclaves enable institutions to earn onchain yield or borrow MUSD, a Bitcoin-collateralized stablecoin, while ensuring assets remain in qualified custody with no commingling or rehypothecation. By addressing key barriers to institutional Bitcoin adoption, Mezo Prime aims to transform Bitcoin from a passive store of value into a productive capital asset. This allows institutions to securely and flexibly deploy their BTC for returns. The launch underscores the growing trend of bitcoin-focused yield infrastructure and highlights the increasing involvement of institutions in onchain finance.
