🚀 Institutional DeFi Meets Bitcoin: A New Chapter Begins Anchorage Digital — the first U.S. federally chartered crypto bank — has just opened institutional pathways into Bitcoin-native DeFi, marking a pivotal step for the future of digital finance. Through its partnership with BOB (Build on Bitcoin), Anchorage is now offering a regulated gateway that merges Bitcoin’s unmatched security with Ethereum’s smart contract power. 💡 What does this mean for the finance world? Institutions can now move beyond passive Bitcoin exposure and tap into yield-generating DeFi opportunities — safely and compliantly. With $250M total value locked (TVL) already in BOB’s ecosystem and new regulatory clarity through Anchorage’s U.S. and Singapore licenses, Bitcoin DeFi is officially moving from theory to practice. 🧠 As Anchorage CEO Nathan McCauley said: “Smart contract capabilities unlock new applications that combine Bitcoin’s security with fresh utility.” 🌍 Why this matters for finance and accounting professionals: ⚫DeFi is no longer experimental— it’s becoming part of regulated financial systems. ⚫ Institutions are leading adoption, not just retail investors. ⚫Understanding DeFi, custody, and blockchain compliance is now essential financial literacy. 🎓 At MMBA, we help professionals stay ahead of these shifts. Our Blockchain in Finance and Accounting Course Series gives you the knowledge to understand, audit, and manage these evolving digital systems. https://hubs.ly/Q03SkhNY0 #BlockchainInFinance #DeFi #Bitcoin #AnchorageDigital #BOB #DigitalAssets #InstitutionalFinance #Fintech #BlockchainEducation #CryptoAdoption #MMBA
