Galaxy Digital has launched Galaxy Curator, an institutional vault curation service on the Morpho protocol. Distributed via Fireblocks Earn, the service allows over 2,400 institutional clients to deploy idle stablecoin balances into curated yield strategies without managing DeFi infrastructure. Galaxy is debuting two strategies: a conservative Quality Vault focused on capital preservation, and an Enhanced Vault targeting higher-yielding assets like Ethena and Pendle products.
