Why Institutions Stay Out of DeFi

Four critical gaps keep institutional capital on the sidelines

No Trusted Identity

Anonymous pools deter institutional investors who require verified participants

Unknown Counterparties

Institutions require verified participants for regulatory compliance

Regulatory Risk

Lack of KYC/AML creates liability exposure for regulated entities

Yield Out of Reach

Without compliance, DeFi yields remain inaccessible to institutional capital

Fairway bridges these gaps, Enabling institutions to safely participate in open blockchain markets.

Define

Institutions set access rules (KYC, jurisdiction, AML/sanctions, accreditation)
