Two Prime, a digital asset financial services firm, launched a bitcoin lending vault on the Pareto platform, according to CoinDesk.
The Axiom WBTC Yield Vault accepts wrapped bitcoin, which represents BTC for use across different distributed ledgers. It aims to generate annual yields between 1.5% and 2% by extending loans to institutional borrowers. Investors must place a starting deposit of 5 WBTC, equivalent to $400,000.
The company allocated approximately $10 million from its capital reserves to cover early losses. The lending strategy focuses on borrowers such as public companies, entities with credit ratings, and diversified financial institutions. Returns depend on market conditions and are not assured.
The firm is broadening its lending operations into onchain finance, linking bitcoin holders seeking income with institutions needing access to bitcoin funding. ICE Digital Trust and Copper Technologies will serve as custodians for the assets held in the vault. Pareto provides the blockchain-based private credit infrastructure that supports the vault.
Bitcoin traded at $75,755.30 at the time of publication.
