Summary

Mezo has launched Mezo Prime, an institutional product designed to route corporate treasury and professional bitcoin holdings into segregated, qualified-custody vaults that generate onchain yield and can be used to mint BTC-backed MUSD. The product is backed by Anchorage Digital and Bullish, adding more concrete details to Mezo’s earlier bitcoin yield offering. The launch reflects continued institutional interest in structures that seek yield on bitcoin while preserving custody protections and reducing operational and counterparty concerns.

Terms & Concepts
  • Qualified custody: A regulated custody arrangement in which a qualified custodian safeguards client assets under established legal and compliance standards.
  • Onchain yield: Yield generated through blockchain-based mechanisms or protocols, with activity and resulting returns recorded onchain.
  • BTC-backed MUSD: A form of MUSD that is minted against deposited Bitcoin, using BTC as collateral rather than requiring the asset to be sold.
