Bitcoin Breakthrough: Lombard Unveils 3 Strategic Steps to Bring Institutional Custody Onchain
Transfer BTC into centralized platforms offering yield
Relinquish custody to third-party intermediaries
Each of those options introduces potential vulnerabilities — whether technical, operational or counterparty-related.
Bitcoin Smart Accounts are structured to minimize those risks. By enabling onchain representation without physical asset movement, the framework seeks to preserve qualified custody arrangements while expanding financial utility.
