Galaxy Digital Partners with Zodia Custody to Expand Staking Services in Europe
Institutional Clients Can Now Earn Rewards While Retaining Asset Custody Galaxy Digital has partnered with Zodia Custody to enhance its staking offerings across Europe, the companies announced Wednesday.
The integration enables Zodia’s institutional clients to earn staking rewards without having to relinquish control of their digital assets—a key requirement for many regulated entities.
Zodia Custody is a regulated institutional-grade custodian backed by a coalition of global financial powerhouses, including Standard Chartered, Northern Trust, SBI Holdings, National Australia Bank, and Emirates NBD.
A Foundation for Broader Product Development
According to both firms, this partnership is just the beginning. The collaboration is expected to pave the way for future innovations in exchange-traded products (ETPs) that integrate staking, lending, and other yield-generating strategies, all while maintaining strict compliance with regulatory standards.
“Expanding our footprint in Europe is a strategic priority,” said Zane Glauber, Galaxy’s head of blockchain infrastructure. “By combining Zodia Custody’s security-first approach with Galaxy’s trading and staking expertise, we’re delivering a fully compliant and streamlined solution for institutions entering the staking space.”
Meeting Demand for Secure, Compliant Yield Opportunities
The integration addresses a growing institutional demand for secure, regulated access to staking—particularly in Europe, where compliance and custody standards remain critical. By offering a way to generate yield while maintaining asset control, Galaxy and Zodia are aiming to differentiate themselves in the competitive institutional crypto landscape.
