Fairway x FluidTokens: Bridging Institutional Capital to Cardano DeFi

Fairway and FluidTokens are joining forces to bring institutional-grade lending to the Cardano DeFi ecosystem.

The collaboration focuses on building and piloting permissioned lending pools that combine FluidTokens’ DeFi infrastructure with Fairway’s on-chain identity and compliance layer. This enables verified institutions to securely lend and borrow digital assets, including bridged Bitcoin via FluidTokens’ upcoming Bifrost bridge, all secured by Cardano’s stake pool operators.

This initiative lays the groundwork for institutional participation in Cardano DeFi, allowing capital to move transparently and safely through decentralized markets.

Together, Fairway and FluidTokens aim to:

• Launch permissioned lending pilots tailored for regulated participants
• Integrate zero-knowledge identity proofs for privacy-preserving compliance
• Build the foundation for real-world institutional liquidity on Cardano

The partnership also complements ongoing work within the Sundial Protocol and the broader Cardano ecosystem, creating infrastructure where trust, privacy, and decentralization meet regulation.

This collaboration represents another step toward unlocking the full potential of Cardano as a hub for compliant, institutional-grade DeFi.
