Global digital asset custodian Zodia Custody has entered into a strategic partnership with crypto-native investment firm Re7 Capital, providing institutional clients with enhanced access to yield-generating strategies through secure custody infrastructure. The agreement, formalized in early April 2026, grants Re7 Capital access to Zodia's proprietary Interchange network for custody services and off-exchange settlement.
Key components of the partnership include Zodia providing support for transparent on-chain representation of investments in two of Re7 Capital's flagship funds: the BTC Yield Strategy and the Market Neutral Strategy. This arrangement enables eligible institutional clients to hold their investment interests in institutional-grade cold wallets with segregated capital, eliminating the need to pre-fund positions.
The technical implementation through the Interchange network allows Re7 Capital to mirror assets in its custody wallet and distribute them across different DeFi platforms instantly, significantly reducing counterparty exposure. Evgeny Gokhberg, founder and Managing Partner at Re7 Capital, emphasized that "institutional customers demand infrastructure that supports access to yield strategies" and noted the partnership brings "secure asset protection along with capital efficient market access."
Zodia Custody brings substantial institutional credibility through its backing by major financial institutions including Standard Chartered, Northern Trust, SBI Holdings, National Australia Bank, and Emirates NBD. Re7 Capital reports approximately five years of positive performance history with nearly $1 billion deployed across the DeFi ecosystem, demonstrating established traction in crypto-native investment strategies.
