The collapse of FTX, the erstwhile representation of legitimacy and forward-thinking in the crypto world, many blockchain enthusiasts worry that institutional investors may turn away from digital assets. But a whopping 62% of institutional crypto investors raised their allocations in the past 12 months, despite the weak market sentiments, according to a recent Coinbase report.
However, despite the surge in investments and predicted increased investor allocations, it is clear that institutions will undoubtedly turn off from CeFi, which has proven it can’t deliver on the promise of digital assets. That will inevitably translate into a surge in demand for DeFi products.
Spool introduces customizable, risk-managed yield portfolios, making it the go-to platform for institutions of any size exploring DeFi investments. Through its non-custodial platform, institutions can now access multiple attractive yield generators while maintaining control of risk appetite and portfolio diversification.
Spool’s 5-step Smart Vault creation toolbox eliminates the complexity and risk that often characterizes DeFi product creation. By walking through each step of portfolio creation, institutional investors can ascertain each facet of the Smart Vault to reflect their desired fund allocations and risk appetite.
Simon Schaber, Chief Business Development Officer of Spool, points out that institutions across traditional finance and crypto are still just scratching the surface of what is possible with DeFi and there is still a very clear interest to enter the field.
Spool’s on-chain DAO governance operates as a quality control mechanism that all yield protocols and risk models must pass before being integrated into its platform.
Institutions creating Smart Vaults can then leverage their brand recognition and client trust by white-labeled yield portfolios through a software development kit. Customers of the institution can join a branded Smart Vault and attain all the benefits of the institution’s carefully crafted portfolio, while a customizable Performance Fee can generate additional income for the portfolio’s creator.
“We are proud that our platform is at the forefront of bridging the gap for those firms that are ready to go head-on into adopting digital assets while still operating in a familiar and secure framework to build the best DeFi products possible,” Simon added.
Spool’s comprehensive framework empowers institutions to confidently enter DeFi by mirroring existing financial language and portfolio management options. Connecting the terminology and operational language of traditional finance to DeFi helps institutions and their clients better understand their DeFi investing strategies.
Last month, Spool added 3 new yield generators to its strategy offering from leading protocols including Frax Cryptocurrency, Idle Finance, and Notional Finance. The new strategy additions to the Smart Vault creation tool enable greater customization and choice for the Spool community to build diversified and robust yield portfolios.
