Decentralised Finance: Mapping Yield, Risk, and Institutional Participation
SEP 17, 2026
Institutional Research from Re7 Capital and Zodia Custody: A framework for understanding DeFi through a traditional finance lens.
Institutional participation in decentralised finance is no longer a question of appetite, but of infrastructure and risk classification. This report, jointly produced by Re7 Capital and Zodia Custody, applies a traditional finance framework to DeFi — decomposing return sources by durability and economic linkage, categorising the associated financial, smart contract, structural, and stablecoin risks, and setting out the custody, compliance, and reporting infrastructure required for institutional-grade participation. It is intended to give allocators and risk teams a practical way to think about exposure to this asset class.
