Stanislas de Maistre – Bringing Institutional Capital into DeFi with Belem Capital – ep 24

Belem Capital provides institutional investors with regulated, market-neutral access to decentralized finance (DeFi) yields, bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain technology. By operating as a joint venture with MEV Capital, the fund enables high-net-worth individuals and family offices to participate in complex DeFi strategies—such as liquidity providing, arbitrage, and lending—without requiring self-custody or deep technical expertise. The firm manages approximately $800 million in assets, focusing on consistent, risk-adjusted returns through diversified protocols and rigorous due diligence. Looking ahead, the integration of real-world assets into the blockchain ecosystem represents a significant growth opportunity, potentially allowing for the tokenization and collateralization of physical assets like real estate. This institutional approach prioritizes liquidity, transparency, and regulatory compliance to foster confidence among conservative investors navigating the digital asset landscape.
