Re7 Capital: How Institutional DeFi Vault Curation Works
DeFi yield is abundant, but navigating it at scale requires more than just chasing the highest APY. Re7 Capital is a London-based crypto-asset investment firm that applies institutional-grade risk management to DeFi yield strategies, curating vaults on protocols like Morpho, Mellow, and Gearbox with over $800 million in assets under management. Through its research arm Re7 Labs, the firm has become one of the most active and respected vault curators in the ecosystem.
What Is Re7 Capital?
Re7 Capital operates at the intersection of traditional fund management and DeFi infrastructure. The firm manages capital across multiple strategies, from curated MetaMorpho vaults on Morpho Blue to liquid restaking positions through Mellow and Symbiotic, to tokenised yield products on Midas. Re7 Labs, the innovation arm, builds the proprietary analytics and risk management systems that underpin these strategies.
What sets Re7 apart from anonymous yield farming is the institutional framework. The team maintains a dedicated research operation with real-time blockchain analytics, proprietary alerting systems, and deep protocol-level due diligence. This is professional capital allocation applied to DeFi, not a dashboard aggregating APYs, but an active management layer that continuously rebalances positions and monitors risk exposure across every deployed strategy.
How Does Re7 Work?
Re7’s primary vehicle is the MetaMorpho vault system on Morpho Blue. As a vault curator, Re7 deploys vaults that accept user deposits (ETH, USDC, USDT, or LSTs) and allocates that capital across Morpho Blue lending markets. The curator sets the risk parameters, which collateral types to accept, what loan-to-value ratios to enforce, and how to distribute capital across markets, while users simply deposit and earn yield.
Beyond Morpho, Re7 operates across multiple DeFi verticals. The firm runs liquid restaking vaults through Mellow and Symbiotic, managing the risk-reward tradeoffs of restaked positions. On Midas, Re7 manages the mRE7YIELD Liquid Yield Token, a delta-neutral stablecoin strategy that gives users exposure to curated DeFi yield through a single ERC-20 token. More recently, Re7 launched a Bitcoin yield strategy on Starknet (mRE7BTC), combining native BTC staking with options premia harvesting.
The common thread across all these products is active risk management. Re7 doesn’t just set and forget; it continuously monitors positions, adjusts allocations based on market conditions, and maintains real-time alerting for on-chain anomalies.
