The integration connects institutional‑grade custody controls — including HSM‑enforced logic, quorum approvals and biometrics — with Mezo’s EVM‑compatible BTCFi ecosystem and its native stablecoin, MUSD, allowing institutions to access liquidity and yield without selling bitcoin. Anchorage framed the move as part of broader institutional adoption of Bitcoin Decentralized Finance ( DeFi) as TVL rose to about $7 billion, saying the Mezo integration helps bridge traditional custody and compliance frameworks with programmable Bitcoin finance, while Mezo’s backers described the platform as advancing decentralization and self‑sovereignty for BTC holders.
