Galaxy Adds to Vault Ecosystem

Vaults of real-world assets could play an integral role in future financial infrastructure.

• Galaxy Digital has launched 'Galaxy Curator,' an institutional vault curation offering designed to deploy user assets into yield-generating activities like staking and lending, built on Morpho's architecture.
• Vaults are compared to CLOs in traditional finance, pooling capital for professionally managed portfolios, with a significant portion of current vault assets focused on stablecoins.
• Regulatory ambiguity, particularly concerning U.S. securities laws and the role of curators, remains a key uncertainty for broader institutional adoption of these on-chain financial tools.

Tokenized Deposits and Transaction Banking: The Mandate War Has Already Started
