Bedrock uniETH

**Institutional-grade credit is coming to retail investors** A new development will allow $uniBTC holders to access institutional credit facilities that were previously exclusive to large players. The key features: - Named, on-chain verifiable counterparties - Institutional-scale credit access - Previously closed to retail participants This builds on earlier work from March 2026, where $uniBTC holders gained access to fixed spreads from institutional underwriting through Cap's credit engine. The move represents a shift in how retail users can participate in institutional-grade financial products on-chain.

Bedrock is preparing to launch an institutional yield vault specifically for $uniBTC holders. The vault will be built on Cap's credit infrastructure and actively managed by Selini Capital. This follows Bedrock's earlier move into institutional-grade credit services, which has attracted nearly $150M in delegations. The platform aims to provide USD-denominated credit opportunities for uniBTC holders. Launch details are expected to be announced soon. The vault represents Bedrock's expansion beyond traditional staking into programmable credit solutions.

Selini Capital has joined Cap as an institutional borrower, marking the fourth major institution to access the platform's lending services. **Key Details:** - Selini Capital's first borrow draws against Cap's underwriter capital - Cap has deployed $183M as the platform's largest underwriter - Four institutions now utilize Cap's services: Amber Group, Flowdesk, Susquehanna Crypto, and Selini Capital **About Cap:** Cap operates as a covered credit platform built on Symbiotic. Dollar depositors provide lending capital to institutional borrowers, while Symbiotic vault depositors (including weETHs holders) supply committed collateral that underwrites the loans. Interest generated from lending flows back to vault depositors as yield.

Bedrock has evolved from a restaking provider into an **intelligent yield engine** that automatically routes Bitcoin capital across institutional-grade strategies. **Key Features:** - Dynamic asset router powered by $uniBTC - AI On-Chain Analyst called BRClaw - Four modular vault layers covering different strategies **Strategy Layers:** - Delta-Neutral Quant (arbitrage/basis trading) - DeFi-Native Yield (liquidity provisioning) - Lending & Credit (overcollateralized markets) - Real-World Assets (off-chain diversification) The platform addresses declining restaking yields by intelligently routing capital across market conditions. The new infrastructure aims to make Bitcoin productive through automated strategy management. [Learn more about Bedrock 2.0](https://www.bedrock.technology)
