Lombard and Bitwise have reached a partnership aimed at helping institutional investors earn yields and conduct lending without transferring their Bitcoin assets. The solution leverages Lombard's Bitcoin smart account framework to connect institutional custodians with on-chain lending markets through Morpho's infrastructure, with the goal of activating approximately $500 billion worth of currently idle Bitcoin held by institutions. The initial launch of the solution is scheduled for the second quarter of 2026.
