DeFi
Ethena Labs and Securitize have enabled 24/7 atomic swaps between BlackRock’s BUIDL fund and Ethena’s USDtb
The USDtb liquidity smart contract will link BlackRock’s BUIDL fund (via Securitize) directly to DeFi. Now, capital can move instantly from TradFi accounts (24/7) into Ethena’s DEX, Ethereal
Both USDTb and USDe are live as margin assets. That means: trade, earn yield
With BlackRock and Securitize in the loop, institutional capital is coming onchain, and doing it compliantly. This will ease trade between TradFi and DeFi
BUIDL as onchain collateral = billions unlocked for DeFi, without leaving regulation behind. Utilizing RWA assets
Nasdaq listed Lion Group Holdings secured a $600M credit facility from ATW Partners to launch a crypto backed treasury reserve — with HYPE (Hyperliquid) as the core reserve, plus allocations to SUI and SOL (custodied + staked via BitGo).
This move brings Hyperliquid deeper into institutional flows, following Eyenovia’s $50M HYPE treasury. TradFi is now routing regulated exposure to SUI and HYPE via global listings.
Lion group is planning public listing in Tokyo and Singapore
Paxos launched Paxos Labs to help institutions embed DeFi and onchain products into their platforms. Initial offerings include APIs for custom stablecoins, tokenized yield, and structured assets, targeting fintech apps, exchanges, and L1s.
Paxos Labs will offer plug in APIs for fintechs, exchanges, and L1s to integrate onchain products (branded stablecoins, yield, structured assets) without dealing with DeFi complexity.
Key features:
• Issue custom stablecoins backed by fiat/stables (e.g. USDG, USDL, PYUSD).
• Enable branded yield products (“Earn on USD/ETH/BTC”).
Unlike Fireblocks, Anchorage, or Galaxy Digital, which focus on custody or DeFi access, Paxos Labs offers APIs and infrastructure for platforms to deliver onchain products to end users.
