Copper and P2P.org team up to bolster staking for institutional investors
Digital asset custody platform Copper is teaming up with institutional staking provider P2P.org to bring secure staking services to institutions.
In this strategic collaboration, the companies will leverage P2P.org’s staking infrastructure and Copper’s custody and prime services to allow institutions tap into the staking opportunities available across multiple blockchains.
Key to this partnership is P2P.org’s rebalancing technology, which allows institutions to get crypto exposure and traction with optimized returns.
“By combining Copper’s cutting-edge MPC technology and custody solutions with our staking infrastructure and unified API, we are meeting the exacting standards of institutional clients and lightening their technical load,” Alex Loktev, chief revenue officer at P2P.org, said. “Ultimately, our ambition is to set a new benchmark for what institutions expect from their staking collaborations.”
Copper and P2P.org will initially integrate Polkadot (DOT) and Solana (SOL) staking before expanding access to Ethereum (ETH) and Bittensor (TAO). The staking services are not available via Copper to users in the United Kingdom.
P2P.org’s “Staking-as-a-Business” model has seen its staking solution grow to more than $10 billion, accounting for both staked and restaked assets. The multi-chain staker and validator’s SaaB offering is available across 40 blockchains, having launched in April 2024 to bring staking opportunities to businesses and institutions, including custodians, crypto exchanges, and wallets.
Its partnership with Copper adds to recent efforts such as the alliance with Northstake. P2P.org joined forces with the tokenized Ether validator marketplace earlier this year, noting that the move aims at increasing institutional participation in the crypto ecosystem’s burgeoning staking market.
Copper also recently partnered with staking infrastructure provider Figment to boost institutional staking.
The company revealed a major development in February when it unveiled a blockchain-based platform for digital asset lending, enabling further growth potential by integrating traditional finance.
