DeFi & Yields ·
Wintermute has launched Armitage, a DeFi vault curation platform designed to serve institutional participants seeking onchain yield. The platform enables curators to structure non-custodial vaults according to specified risk parameters and funnel capital into DeFi lending, while depositors maintain full asset custody without undergoing KYC verification.
Armitage addresses a specific gap in the institutional DeFi market by supporting collateral types that other curators cannot accommodate. The platform offers vault options including USDC Prime, which targets 4–5% APY, and USDC Select, which targets 5–8% APY, both delivered through institutional-grade risk management frameworks.
The exact scope of alternative collateral types supported and competitive advantages over existing vault operators remain unspecified in available announcements. Adoption rates and total assets flowing into Armitage vaults at launch have not been disclosed.
