Digital asset manager Bitwise plans to launch non-custodial onchain vaults through decentralized lending protocol Morpho, marking a deeper push into decentralized finance. The first strategy targets a 6% annual percentage yield by allocating capital to overcollateralized lending pools managed directly by Bitwise.
The vaults will be curated and risk-managed by Bitwise’s multi-strategy team, allowing users to deposit and withdraw assets without lockups. The structure mirrors traditional investment funds while relying on automated smart contracts rather than intermediaries, reflecting broader institutional interest in programmable finance.
The move follows Bitwise’s recent forecast that onchain vaults could double assets under management in 2026 as demand grows for transparent, yield-generating crypto products. For Morpho, the partnership reinforces its position as infrastructure for institutional-grade DeFi, as competition intensifies with established lending platforms such as Aave.
