Blockdaemon Unveils Earn Stack for Institutional DeFi Solutions
Blockdaemon, a provider specializing in blockchain infrastructure for institutions, has unveiled its latest service, titled Earn Stack, which focuses on decentralized finance (DeFi) and staking solutions tailored for institutional clients. Announced on Thursday, this service opens up access to over 50 different protocols, offering various DeFi pools and bridges. The initiative positions Blockdaemon as a key player in the rapidly evolving DeFi space while adhering to the recent guidelines established by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Security and Compliance Features
With a commitment to security, Blockdaemon’s Earn Stack is characterized by non-custodial staking, allowing institutions to participate in DeFi safely and efficiently. The company emphasizes its compliance with prestigious cybersecurity standards, specifically ISO 27001 and SOC 2, as part of their assurance to prospective clients.
According to Konstantin Richter, Blockdaemon’s founder and CEO, “The demand for high-grade infrastructure among crypto-native institutions and developers necessitated the creation of this platform.”
Richter highlighted the features of Earn Stack, including complete slashing protection and seamless integration capabilities provided via institutional-grade APIs.
Future Prospects and Market Developments
This announcement comes on the heels of speculation regarding Blockdaemon’s potential initial public offering (IPO), which Richter mentioned might be a possibility in 2026, depending on the market’s performance in 2025.
Blockdaemon’s offerings extend beyond just staking; the platform facilitates DeFi yield farming and provides liquidity solutions across lending protocols. It employs a no-code widget, allowing clients to incorporate multichain staking and DeFi features into their existing systems with ease. Moreover, Blockdaemon offers internal application programming interfaces (APIs) for businesses seeking more tailored solutions, including a DeFi API that consolidates liquidity and pricing data and a staking API that standardizes access across different blockchains.
Increasing Institutional Demand for Staking
Interest in staking is surging within the crypto community, highlighted by Kraken’s recent release of a Bitcoin staking product in partnership with Babylon Labs. The overall investment in staking continues to grow, with Ethereum seeing record levels of staked supply, exceeding 35 million ETH. Kean Gilbert, who leads institutional relations at the Lido Ecosystem Foundation, noted that the growing institutional interest in Ethereum staking is fueling demand for specialized custody solutions—a market segment Blockdaemon aims to target.
As the landscape of cryptocurrency evolves, analysts anticipate that exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focusing on Ether and Solana staking might soon be launched in the United States, adding further complexity to the institutional investment arena in the coming weeks.
