Mezo Partners with Anchorage Digital to Bring Institutional-Grade BitcoinFi to Market
Mezo and Anchorage Digital partnered to offer institutional clients low-cost Bitcoin borrowing and new yield opportunities via MUSD and veBTC.Summary
Mezo, a bank-free Bitcoin finance platform built by Thesis, has partnered with Anchorage Digital, a regulated digital asset custodian, to expand institutional access to Bitcoin-based borrowing and yield opportunities.
Through this integration, institutional clients can now borrow against their Bitcoin using Mezo’s MUSD stablecoin at a fixed 1% rate directly through Anchorage Digital’s Porto self-custody wallet, allowing them to access liquidity without relinquishing BTC ownership. The second phase will introduce yield opportunities via veBTC, a tokenized position (veNFT) earned by locking BTC on Mezo for 6 to 30 days, offering rewards through a transparent fee-sharing model.
Executives from both companies hailed the partnership as a milestone, aiming to unlock capital efficiency for asset holders and realize visions of Bitcoin-native financial services by enabling institutions to leverage their dormant Bitcoin holdings securely.
