Mezo, a financial protocol developed by Thesis, has entered into a strategic partnership with Anchorage Digital, a leading U.S.-regulated crypto platform for institutional investors. The collaboration brings Mezo’s suite of financial tools directly to Anchorage’s institutional client base.
The integration focuses on two core offerings:
1. Bitcoin-backed borrowing through Anchorage Digital’s non-custodial Porto wallet.
2. Yield-earning opportunities powered by Mezo’s protocol.
For borrowing, Anchorage clients can now access liquidity by locking BTC as collateral, with loans issued in Mezo’s MUSD stablecoin at a fixed interest rate. The structure is designed to give companies and institutional asset managers efficient access to capital without relinquishing control of their bitcoin.
The second feature — set to launch soon — will allow clients to deposit BTC on Mezo and earn protocol-based rewards using the veBTC token model. Rewards are generated from a share of Mezo’s network fees. Lock-up periods range from 6 to 30 days, with higher yields offered for longer commitments. In future iterations, participants may also earn governance rights influencing fee mechanics and platform rules.
Both the lending service and the upcoming yield program will be integrated directly into Anchorage Digital’s institutional platform, expanding compliant access to DeFi-powered financial products.
