In an important initiative towards a new stage of decentralized finance (DeFi), Quai Network announces a strategic partnership with Frictionless Markets. As a leader in institutional cash solutions and tokenized financial products, Frictionless Markets will help Quai Network break down barriers between traditional finance and decentralized markets, introducing regulated financial instruments on-chain.
Addressing Key Institutional DeFi Challenges
One of the main obstacles for institutional investors entering the DeFi space is the lack of compliant, stable, and yield-generating financial instruments that can seamlessly integrate with decentralized ecosystems. Traditional finance relies on highly liquid, secure assets like U.S. Treasury funds and institutional cash deposits—products that are almost non-existent in the DeFi realm. Frictionless Markets focuses on tokenizing such financial solutions, providing a compliant and scalable pathway for institutional capital to enter decentralized markets. Through this partnership, Quai Network participants will be able to access Frictionless institutional deposit tokens and U.S. Treasury-backed assets, enabling them to earn yields while maintaining dollar stability. This integration clears the way for institutional investors seeking compliant, stable, and profitable investment opportunities.
