Crypto Finance enables Liquid Staking for Wallet Infrastructure clients via the Lido Protocol

Zurich, Switzerland, 14.01.2025 – Crypto Finance AG has announced a strategic integration with the Lido Protocol to offer liquid staking solutions to its wallet infrastructure clients. This integration allows clients to utilize liquid-staking tokens (stETH) to enhance liquidity and staking rewards while maintaining operational efficiency. This development further strengthens Crypto Finance AG’s position as a trusted digital-asset service provider to some of Europe’s largest financial institutions in this rapidly evolving market.

The Lido Protocol facilitates a significant portion of Ethereum’s liquid staking activity, with widespread adoption representing approximately USD 38 billion of staked ETH as of December 2024. This collaboration addresses key challenges in the Ethereum staking ecosystem and reinforces Crypto Finance AG’s commitment to providing secure and innovative digital asset services.

Kasper Luyckx, Head of Wallet Infrastructure & Staking Services at Crypto Finance AG, stated: “As part of the Deutsche Börse Group, we are dedicated to setting industry standards for security and innovation in digital asset services. The integration of the Lido Protocol into our wallet solution is a significant step in meeting the needs of our institutional clients.”

This integration with Crypto Finance creates new pathways for institutions to access Ethereum staking. By using the Lido protocol middleware, clients can take advantage of stETH’s liquidity and flexibility, helping to bridge the gap between decentralized technology and traditional finance,” said Kean Gilbert, Institutional Relations Contributor to Lido DAO.
