Pivotal Partners with Ceffu for Secure Bitcoin Staking Custody Through plusBTC
We’re excited to share that Ceffu has partnered with Bitcoin-secured network Pivotal to increase institutional participation in bitcoin staking through the plusBTC ecosystem with secure custody.
This collaboration brings institutional-grade security to plusBTC users, allowing institutional investors to securely stake their bitcoin with peace of mind. The partnership effectively bridges bitcoin's substantial $1.9 trillion market capitalization with decentralized finance (DeFi) innovations, all while adhering to the highest security standards required by institutional investors.
Building the Secure Foundation to Unlock Bitcoin Yields
The partnership between Ceffu and Pivotal advances bitcoin's utility in the DeFi ecosystem through integrated features focused on security, yield generation, and interoperability. This secure infrastructure addresses two critical needs in the institutional crypto market:
Secure, Institutional-Grade Custody: Ceffu's solutions enable bitcoin holders to participate confidently in the plusBTC ecosystem, backed by comprehensive security measures.
Access to Sustainable Yield Opportunities: The plusBTC ecosystem allows investors to stake bitcoin and generate yield while maintaining rigorous security standards.
At its core, Ceffu delivers institutional-grade custody solutions powered by Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and cold storage. MPC technology strengthens security by distributing private key shards across multiple parties, minimizing risks of unauthorized access and cyber threats. Cold storage adds protection by maintaining bitcoin assets in an offline environment, creating a robust defense against hacking attempts.
The Future of Bitcoin Utility
Built on the Optimism Superchain and powered by Babylon's bitcoin staking technology, the plusBTC ecosystem allows bitcoin's $1.9T market cap to engage in cross-chain opportunities while maintaining institutional-grade security. Pivotal's DeFi consortium, comprising leading industry players, expands plusBTC's scope and facilitates integration into mainstream commercial applications.
This infrastructure bridges traditional bitcoin holdings with innovative DeFi capabilities, expanding its utility beyond simple value storage, and transforming bitcoin from a static store of value into a dynamic asset.
"This partnership with Ceffu represents more than just institutional-grade custody - it's a crucial step in reimagining bitcoin's role in the global economy. By combining enterprise security with our deep partnerships across media, retail, and DeFi, plusBTC creates the secure foundation needed to bring bitcoin's $1.9T market cap into practical commercial use. We're not just building another DeFi primitive; we're creating the infrastructure that will drive bitcoin adoption for the next billion users through real-world utility." - Christel Buchanan, Co-founder, Pivotal
"The evolution of bitcoin from a static asset to a productive force in mainstream finance requires institutional-grade infrastructure that never compromises on security. Through our partnership with Pivotal, we're enabling a new paradigm where institutional investors can confidently participate in bitcoin staking while maintaining the rigorous security standards they expect. This collaboration sets a new benchmark for how traditional finance can engage with bitcoin's growing commercial ecosystem." - Ian Loh, CEO, Ceffu
