FORDEFI

When an institutional team interacts with a DeFi protocol, the transaction going out for approval is a contract call, and the function and parameters inside that call are where the real instruction lives. Fordefi's policy engine now lets you write rules against that inner content. Our latest ABI update extends policy matching to the full range of contract call parameters, including tuples, arrays, and byte values. A rule can now require approval when a swap amount climbs above a threshold, or block a call when a recipient address buried inside a struct is not one you have whitelisted. It is the difference between approving a protocol wholesale and governing the precise content of every call made to it.

Fordefi now supports cross-chain USDC transfers through Circle's CCTP across supported EVM chains and Solana. Teams running on-chain strategies move USDC between chains constantly, whether that's rebalancing treasury or funding a position on a new chain. Lock-and-mint bridges hand back a wrapped version of USDC that isn't fungible with the real asset and sits behind a contract holding pooled collateral. Routing through an exchange adds hops and another set of controls to manage. CCTP works differently. It burns USDC on the source chain and mints native, Circle-issued USDC on the destination chain. There's no wrapped token on the other side and no pool of locked collateral for an attacker to drain. What lands is the same canonical USDC your protocols and counterparties already recognize. Inside Fordefi, that transfer runs through the same policy engine, approval quorums, and audit trail as every other transaction. Your team moves native USDC between EVM chains and Solana without leaving the custody and control layer it already works from.

Institutional crypto adoption is no longer about access- it’s about operational readiness. As funds scale, expectations around governance, controls, security, and auditability start looking a lot more like TradFi. The challenge is doing that in a 24/7, multi-chain environment. That’s why infrastructure is becoming one of the most important layers in crypto today. At FORDEFI, we’re seeing more institutions prioritize secure, scalable on-chain operations as they grow. Let's connect!

TRON DAO is one of the most active stablecoin rails in crypto, carrying significant volume across payments, treasury, and trading flows. Fordefi now runs AML scans on every Tron transaction routed through the platform. Every inbound and outbound Tron transfer is scored Low, Medium, or High before it reaches the approval queue. High-risk transactions freeze automatically through the existing policy engine, and risk scores and categories surface in the transfer preview and audit log without leaving the console. For institutional teams running stablecoin payments, treasury movements, or trading flows on Tron, screening, freezing, and approvals now follow the same operating model as the rest of your activity. One policy layer, one audit trail, every chain. Details: https://lnkd.in/e9gckg-6

We wrapped up Day 1 at Consensus 2026 Miami, and FORDEFI and Paxos shared a booth for the first time! After April's 30+ hacks across the industry, security was a topic in every meeting. A few really interesting topics we heard on the floor: 1. Franklin Templeton and Apollo making the case for continuous treasury, where idle cash effectively disappears 2. Tom Zschach (formerly SWIFT) is calling governance standards the next thing the industry has to solve 3. Agentic commerce protocols (x402, MPP, AP2, ACP) are racing ahead of the custody and policy layer they'll need One core question kept coming up at the booth. How do you actually run all this at institutional scale, day in and day out? That's our favorite kind to get. Come say hi at booth 1618! https://lnkd.in/e7BrguQD

This might be one of the coolest features I've seen roll out since I started working in the custody space. You can hold liquid assets, maintain full custody, and still earn rewards that pay your Fordefi bill. Very cool seeing our team FORDEFI build as a part of Paxos, can't wait for consumer wallets to figure out how to provide premium features funded by my stablecoin balances as well!

We just launched Fordefi Rewards! Hold PYUSD or USDG in your Fordefi Wallet, and the balance earns credits toward your SaaS subscription. Credits scale with how much you hold, and you don’t need to activate, lock, or tag anything to start earning. Most of our customers already hold stablecoin balances as part of their day-to-day operations for settlement, collateral, and float between positions. That capital doesn’t need to be sitting in DeFi to be useful. With Fordefi Rewards, it offsets the cost of the infrastructure you use to manage it. Fordefi is a Paxos company, and Paxos is the regulated issuer behind both PYUSD and USDG. We’re able to power these rewards using this relationship and our new membership in the Global Dollar Network. Over 300 institutions already use Fordefi to manage and transact on-chain, and every one of them can start earning credits today. Interested in getting started with Fordefi Rewards? https://lnkd.in/evhtGtNp

Great piece from Trey Archambeau on wallet consolidation. Most people will take away the obvious point: the space is certainly maturing. But there’s another practical takeaway that doesn’t get said enough: Choosing a wallet provider is not just a product decision. It’s a long-term risk decision. We’ve seen wallet companies raise tens of millions and still go out of business because their pricing model wasn’t sustainable. We’ve seen companies acquired by large platforms, only to later discontinue the business and repurpose the tech. In both cases, clients are left scrambling for alternatives. Being forced to switch wallets is, at best, an inconvenience. At worst, it leads to real business disruption. What if you need to move thousands of wallets? In some cases, it can even introduce asset risk, especially with long-term staking positions. A few years ago, this was just the cost of being early. Everyone was a startup. There weren’t many real choices. That’s no longer true. Today, if you’re an institution, you need to ask: Will this provider still be here in 5+ years? Will they still be investing in me? Because switching wallet infrastructure is not trivial. It’s painful, risky, and expensive.. Please choose a provider with the balance sheet, commitment, and long-term focus to build through cycles. Proud to be building in that group 🚀 Paxos FORDEFI
