Bitwise’s first vault strategy with Morpho will aim to generate up to 6% APY1 on stablecoins, with plans to expand into several other strategies.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bitwise Asset Management, a global crypto asset manager with more than $15 billion in client assets, today announced a new onchain investor solution: non-custodial vault curation. The vault offering is powered by Morpho, an onchain lending network that provides programmable and non-custodial infrastructure for onchain lending and borrowing. The underlying strategy and real-time risk management are led by Jonathan Man, CFA, Bitwise Portfolio Manager and Head of Multi-Strategy Solutions and DeFi Strategies, leveraging the expertise of Bitwise’s 140-person team of technology and investment professionals.

Vaults are onchain lending strategies that function similarly to a portfolio of lending positions. Bitwise’s first vault strategy is powered by Morpho’s open, modular architecture for implementing scalable, custom onchain strategies with systematic risk management. The Bitwise strategy on Morpho’s vault currently targets an annual percentage yield of 6%.

“Decentralized finance, or DeFi, offers compelling yield opportunities, but the complexity of managing onchain risk has kept many investors on the sidelines,” said Bitwise’s Man. “That’s why we’re so excited for Bitwise to enter vault curation. Bitwise provides value-add by layering professional guidance and  risk management experience onto these non-custodial tools.”

Morpho’s vault utilizes a set of smart contracts to programmatically invest funds on behalf of its clients with the aim of generating digital yield.

“Bitwise joining Morpho as a vault curator highlights growing institutional demand for allocating capital onchain through noncustodial infrastructure,” said Paul Frambot, Co-founder and CEO of Morpho. “Morpho Vaults are built for institutional use, enabling professionally defined risk parameters to be expressed directly onchain and making them the perfect foundation for Bitwise’s entry into vault curation. As major institutions like Bitwise recognise the value in diversified fixed-income strategies in digital assets, vaults are emerging as a core building block of onchain finance strategies.”

The launch reinforces a key theme referenced in Bitwise’s 2026 predictions: that onchain vaults would see assets under management double this year.

About Morpho Vaults

Vaults are onchain lending strategies that function similarly to a portfolio of lending positions. They combine liquidity, strategy execution, and risk constraints within a single transparent structure, rather than simply replicating legacy financial products onchain.

About Morpho Curators

Curators are independent teams or entities that define the overall strategy for a Morpho Vault and oversee its risk framework, including collateral requirements, exposure limits, and allocation parameters.

Risks and Important Information

Participation in DeFi vault lending comes with certain risks that lenders should consider. DeFi vault lending relies on smart contracts, which may contain vulnerabilities or bugs despite security audits. Price data on the platform is provided through oracles, and incorrect or manipulated feeds could lead to unwanted liquidations or bad debt. As with any protocol, a bug or error to the code in the smart contract could lead to a complete loss of funds.

Lenders may experience bad debt if collateral values drop too quickly for liquidations to occur. Bad debt is shared among users of the same vault. If a borrower is liquidated but the collateral is not enough to cover the debt, the loss is socialized among the lenders in that specific vault. You could see your balance decrease slightly to cover the gap.

Unlike mainstream borrowing and lending entities such as traditional FDIC insured banks, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government, DeFi vaults are not FDIC insured and investors run the full risk of losing their entire investment if the markets and vaults default.

Lenders are subject to liquidity risk if a market is 100% utilized (everyone has borrowed the available funds) and may have to wait for someone to repay their loan before their deposit can be withdrawn. Liquidity risk can also affect lenders if funds are temporarily unavailable for withdrawal during high market demand.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
