[Webinar] How Institutions Engage with DeFi: Custody, Access and Opportunity

Institutional engagement with DeFi is entering a new phase—moving beyond experimentation toward scalable, risk-aware participation as on-chain infrastructure continues to mature. On February 11, 2026 (12:00–1:00pm ET), The Tie will host an Innovator Webinar, “How Institutions Engage with DeFi: Custody, Access and Opportunity,” exploring how institutions are accessing decentralized markets today, how custody and risk frameworks are evolving, and where meaningful institutional opportunity is beginning to emerge.

As tooling, compliance solutions, and operational standards improve, institutions are finding clearer pathways to deploy capital on-chain while meeting internal governance and risk requirements.
