Can Blockdaemon become the dominant institutional-grade infrastructure layer—spanning node management, MPC custody, stablecoin rails, and staking—that regulated enterprises use to build and operate digital asset products?

The story

Blockdaemon positions itself as institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure—offering node management, staking, MPC wallet custody (Institutional Vault, Builder Vault), stablecoin infrastructure, and data/RPC services. The company has evolved from pure node infrastructure toward a comprehensive digital-asset platform for regulated institutions (banks, fintechs, custodians), adding transaction services, DeFi earn widgets, and stablecoin tooling. The embedded crypto angle is core: Blockdaemon sells infrastructure that other institutions embed into their own products.
