As traditional listed companies begin to take blockchain asset allocation seriously, the game rules of the entire crypto world are quietly changing. Greenlane Holdings, a NASDAQ-listed company, recently deployed 30 million BERA to the Berachain network through Infrared. This is not just ordinary staking; it marks the first native on-chain practice of the listed company's Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy. The full name of DAT is Digital Asset Treasury, which essentially means that the listed company incorporates crypto assets into its financial reserves and enhances the net asset value per share through on-chain mechanisms. Greenlane chose not just simple holding but deployed the underlying BERA assets to a carefully selected professional validator node cluster through Infrared's curated validator set. This model ensures asset security while earning additional income through participation in network consensus. From the competitive landscape, Infrared currently finds it almost impossible to find a rival of comparable strength in the LST track of Berachain. Other protocols either lack compliant custody solutions or are not mature enough in building the validator network. Infrared, through its partnership with BitGo, provides bank-level security guarantees for institutional users, and its carefully selected validator cluster ensures the stability of network participation. It is worth noting that this income is not a fixed return; it completely depends on the operational status of the network and the activity level of on-chain activities. In the early days of the Berachain mainnet launch, the TVL reached a peak of $3.3 billion, but the ecosystem is currently entering a consolidation period, with daily on-chain income fluctuating greatly. However, this is precisely where institutional capital has the advantage; they focus on long-term strategic layouts rather than short-term fluctuations. The significance of this cooperation far exceeds ordinary staking behavior. It validates the feasibility of listed companies directly participating in POS network consensus and provides a new paradigm for on-chain asset allocation for more traditional enterprises. With professional infrastructures like Infrared, institutional capital can participate in blockchain network construction and share profits securely and efficiently without directly operating nodes. As more listed companies follow the DAT strategy, public chains like Berachain, which have innovative consensus mechanisms, may welcome a new round of institutional capital inflow, while the institutional-level infrastructure built by Infrared is perfectly positioned at this historic turning point. #Berachain #InfraredFinance
