Cactus Custody is pleased to announce a new strategic integration with Venus, a premier decentralized lending protocol on BNB Chain. This collaboration brings together Cactus Custody’s secure, institutional infrastructure with Venus’s high-performance lending and borrowing markets, providing a streamlined and secure gateway for institutional clients to access onchain yield and credit opportunities.
Seamless Access to Institutional DeFi
As institutional interest in decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to mature, the demand for secure, compliant, and efficient access to yield-generating protocols has never been higher. This integration allows Cactus Custody users to seamlessly access Venus’s lending and borrowing markets directly through the Cactus platform.
Key highlights of this partnership include:
- Integrated Infrastructure: Cactus Custody now integrates Venus’s lending infrastructure, enabling clients to supply assets to earn yield or borrow against supported collateral without leaving the secure custodial environment.
- Gold-Backed Credit Strategies: In alignment with Venus’s recent listing of XAUm (the tokenized gold issued by BIT’s Matrixdock), institutional users can now supply XAUm as collateral on Venus. This enables clients to borrow stablecoins against their gold exposure, effectively unlocking liquidity without the need to sell the underlying asset.
- Institutional Security: By leveraging Cactus Custody’s robust infrastructure—which includes Hong Kong TCSP licensing and ISO certifications—clients can engage with Venus’s liquidity pools while maintaining strict risk control and compliance frameworks.
“Integrating with Venus is a significant milestone in our mission to bridge institutional-grade security with the high-performance DeFi landscape,” said Daniel Lee, CEO of Cactus Custody. “By enabling direct access to Venus’s lending protocols, including innovative assets like XAUm, we are empowering our clients to optimize their capital efficiency and execute complex trading strategies with unprecedented operational ease.”
