Bitcoin News Today: Two Prime and Figment Expand Institutional Bitcoin and Staking Yield Access

Two Prime, an SEC-registered investment advisor with approximately $1.75 billion in assets under management, has entered into a strategic partnership with Figment, a leading provider of institutional staking infrastructure with $15 billion in assets under stake and over 1,000 institutional clients. The collaboration aims to expand institutional access to yield opportunities across a range of digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and over 40 other protocols [1].

Under the agreement, Two Prime clients will be able to access staking rewards through Figment’s platform, which offers exposure to a diverse set of digital assets. In return, Figment’s institutional clients can utilize Two Prime’s BTC yield strategies to enhance returns on their Bitcoin holdings. This integration marks a significant step in the institutionalization of digital asset management, where participants seek yield generation opportunities across both Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake mechanisms [2].

Alexander Blume, CEO of Two Prime, highlighted that the partnership is intended to provide a more complete and secure solution for managing digital asset treasuries. Lorien Gabel, CEO and Co-Founder of Figment, noted that the collaboration reflects the evolving strategies of digital asset managers, emphasizing the complementary roles of different consensus mechanisms in portfolio diversification [3].

As institutional adoption of digital assets continues to rise, the integration of staking and alternative yield strategies is becoming a key focus for asset managers. Both Two Prime and Figment emphasize their commitment to transparency and security, working with top-tier custodians and operating under rigorous risk frameworks to protect client assets. The partnership is expected to enhance access to competitive yield opportunities for institutional clients in the rapidly expanding digital asset landscape [4].

The partnership may also lead to an increase in institutional staking flows and BTC yield products, with potential positive impacts on total value locked (TVL) and market liquidity. Analysts suggest that the arrangement could parallel past trends, such as those seen in Ethereum staking, where institutional adoption led to noticeable increases in TVL [4]. This collaboration supports the broader growth of decentralized finance (DeFi) by expanding access to diversified yield opportunities.

The strategic alignment between Two Prime and Figment is a reflection of the maturing digital asset ecosystem, where institutional investors increasingly seek integrated, secure, and compliant solutions to manage and grow their crypto treasuries. With both firms offering complementary capabilities—Two Prime’s BTC yield strategies and Figment’s staking infrastructure—clients benefit from a more robust and flexible approach to digital asset management [2].
