Wu says that Morpho, the on-chain lending infrastructure, announced its June 2026 progress, stating that it has completed a $175 million funding round, led by Paradigm, a16z Crypto, and Ribbit Capital, with participation from VanEck and Circle. Morpho aims to build an open credit network connecting traditional finance with on-chain systems. According to official disclosures, its ecosystem has made significant progress: deposits on Coinbase's lending product have surpassed $100 million; it is about to receive support from US-compliant custodian BitGo; and it has partnered with gig economy giant Deel to provide embedded stablecoin yield services for its global employees.

$175 million USD, traditional financial giants are starting to seriously enter the space. BitGo custody + Deel payroll, this roadmap is clearly drawn — it's about building on-chain banking infrastructure.

After looking at the data, Morpho's modular design is indeed suitable for institutional access, but compliant custody is the decisive factor. BitGo's move is critical.

Morpho's current round of funding has an incredibly impressive lineup, with Paradigm and a16z co-leading, essentially securing top-tier endorsements in the industry. Coinbase's deposits surpassing 100 million indicate real use cases are running, not just pure narrative.

VanEck and Circle participating in the investment is interesting—one is an ETF giant and the other a stablecoin issuer. The pieces of traditional finance are slowly coming together.

A bit worried about the valuation. After this round, is it already a unicorn? Although the ceiling for lending protocols is high, competition is fierce, and Aave won't sit idly by.

The potential of the Deel partnership has been underestimated: global gig workers earning with stablecoins is a hundred times more compelling than the crypto speculation narrative—a true mass-adoption scenario.
