Last week, Crypto Finance (Deutschland) GmbH, part of the Deutsche Börse Group, officially launched institutional staking services for Ethereum and Solana across Europe.
In partnership with Figment, a heavyweight in institutional-grade staking infrastructure, the service allows clients to earn yield while enhancing blockchain security.
Why it matters? Because a traditional finance giant is validating crypto.
The move marks a deeper integration of regulated players into crypto’s most important layer: consensus.
Let’s connect the dots: - Crypto Finance holds multiple MiCA licenses - It already provides regulated custody and trading - Now, it offers staking, a core Web3 primitive
This is bringing security, legitimacy, and scalability to institutions interacting with Ethereum and Solana.
At OffChain Luxembourg, we welcome this shift.
It shows how staking is evolving, not being an "exclusive" for DeFi bros, but becoming a pillar of Europe’s compliant crypto ecosystem.
Crypto’s infrastructure is maturing and that’s bullish for all of us building for the long term.
What do you think? Will more TradFi follow?
