Fireblocks Earn users can now tap into Galaxy Curator, an institutional vault curation layer built on the Morpho protocol. Launched on July 16, the service lets more than 2,400 institutions access curated DeFi yield strategies without re-architecting their custody or controls. Galaxy Curator handles strategy selection, monitoring, and risk guardrails, while Fireblocks Earn acts as the interface and control plane.
What Galaxy Curator Offers
Galaxy Curator is designed for institutions that want exposure to DeFi lending pools but lack the internal resources to vet and monitor strategies continuously. The platform supports four assets: USDC, USDT, WETH, and PYUSD. Allocations point into Morpho vaults that Galaxy Curator selects and oversees. The idea is to let institutions earn yield without having to build their own vault infrastructure or hire a dedicated DeFi team.
Two Vault Strategies for Different Risk Appetites
Galaxy Curator offers two vault types. Quality Vaults focus on capital preservation, using blue-chip collateral. Enhanced Vaults aim for higher yields by accepting broader collateral, including liquid restaking tokens, Pendle PTs, and Ethena products. The trade-off is clear: higher potential returns come with additional risk. Institutions can choose based on their own risk tolerance and portfolio goals.
How Fireblocks Earn Fits In
Fireblocks Earn is the front end. Users see Galaxy-curated vaults inside their existing Fireblocks console and can allocate funds directly. No need to move assets to a separate platform or set up new wallets. Fireblocks handles the operational layer — execution, settlement, and reporting — while Galaxy Curator manages the strategy layer. For institutions already using Fireblocks, the integration removes a major friction point.
Risks Institutions Should Know
The service does not eliminate risk. Galaxy Curator lists market risk, smart contract risk, liquidity risk, collateral risk, and operational risk as factors institutions must consider. The curation layer can adjust strategies or pull funds if conditions change, but it cannot guarantee against losses. Institutions are expected to perform their own due diligence before committing capital.
The service is now live for Fireblocks Earn users. No additional timeline has been given for expanding to other platforms.
