...a lack of suitable infrastructure across the trade lifecycle is keeping them (and corporates) at bay.

This includes a lack of compatible custodial solutions, as well as scalable & robust market access tools that can handle basic things like accounting and recordkeeping.

The good news is that Qredo is solving this through its radical new decentralised custody & settlement infrastructure.

But why should you care whether these big whales can enter the market? 🐋

Let’s dig a little deeper ⛏️

🤔 Ever heard the adage “liquidity begets liquidity”?

It applies not just to CeFi, but also to DeFi...

Liquidity breeds a network effect 🌐, enabling retail investors to enjoy better price discovery, and trade in deeper markets without massive price slippage.

⚠️ However, liquidity begets liquidity until it doesn’t...

Wash trading is an example of liquidity that can be hugely negative for a market.

The 🔑 is incentivising REAL liquidity.

So, this means more capital entering the DeFi space is net positive for everyone, right?

Qredo and [REDACTED] 👀 think so...

6/8

Greater liquidity, more assets flowing through the ecosystem and -- importantly, as demand creates supply -- more robust DeFi markets will start spinning up 📈🚀

Qredo aims to play a pivotal role in this evolution 🧬

By partnering with [REDACTED], we're enabling a wallet solution that is protected by the magic of multi-party computation (#MPC)🔒...

A wallet that ensures institutions can enter the space with confidence -- and at scale 💪

I look forward to sharing more details next week.
