Venus Partners with Solv and Ceffu to Power Institutional On-Chain Borrowing Venus's vaults now supply on-chain liquidity to institutional borrowers, with Solv borrowing against collateral that Ceffu secures in regulated custody. Venus Protocol, the leading decentralized money market on BNB Chain, today announced a partnership with Solv Protocol and Ceffu that puts its vaults at the centre of institutional on-chain borrowing. In the structure, Venus operates the vaults that supply liquidity, Solv borrows, and Ceffu custodies the collateral, making custody-backed, on-chain lending a reality on BNB Chain, with capital moving through it. Venus at the Centre, Operating the Vaults Venus serves as the central marketplace. The protocol operates the vaults that supply liquidity to institutional borrowers, establishing interest rates, managing risk parameters, and executing every borrow on-chain. It is where institutional demand meets on-chain supply, transforming custody-held collateral into accessible credit. To deliver this at institutional standards, Venus brought together two industry-leading partners: Solv Protocol: the borrower. The largest on-chain Bitcoin liquidity protocol (SolvBTC), with over $2.8B in assets, Solv brings exactly the institutional-scale borrowing demand Venus's markets are built to serve. Ceffu: the custodian. An institutional-grade custodian , Ceffu holds the collateral in regulated custody and attests to it on-chain — giving Venus verifiable proof of the assets without them ever entering a smart contract. Collateral is held in Ceffu's regulated custody and attested on-chain. Against that attestation, borrowing executes through the Venus vaults, and liquidity is drawn down by Solv. Across the full loan lifecycle, Venus provides the liquidity with the borrower’s collateral remaining independently held in custody. Expanding the Venus Ecosystem This partnership extends Venus's reach into a category of capital that has never meaningfully engaged with on-chain lending. By pairing its vaults with a leading institutional borrower and a regulated custodian, Venus can serve institutional demand on terms their risk teams recognise — and cement its position as the venue where that capital comes on-chain. It is a repeatable structure Venus can extend to new borrowers, custodians, and collateral types over time. Venus intends to build on this foundation: growing scale, collateral types, and use cases with BNB Chain as the home for institutional on-chain credit. About Venus Protocol is the leading decentralized lending protocol on BNB Chain, supporting over 30 assets with more than 80 independent audits and reached $2.8 billion in TVL in 2025. Solv Protocol the largest on-chain Bitcoin liquidity protocol (SolvBTC), with over $2.8B in assets, connecting institutional demand to on-chain markets. Ceffu is a compliant, institutional-grade custody platform offering custody and liquidity solutions that are ISO 27001 & 27701 certified and SOC2 Type 2 attested. Our multi-party computation (MPC) technology, combined with a customizable multi-approval scheme, provides bespoke solutions allowing institutional clients to safely store and manage their virtual assets.
