Bitcoin News Today: Core Foundation and Hex Trust Launch BTC Equity Staking Service for Institutions

Core Foundation has announced a partnership with Hex Trust to deliver a BTC equity staking service specifically designed for institutional clients. The collaboration integrates Core’s Double Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) protocol with Hex Trust’s institutional-grade digital asset custody system. This integration enables institutional investors to stake Bitcoin and CORE tokens within a secure and compliant framework, generating on-chain block rewards without the need to transfer or sell their BTC holdings[1].

The initiative is expected to expand access to BTCFi products in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, where institutional demand for digital asset yield opportunities is rising. By offering a streamlined and secure method for earning staking rewards, the partnership addresses key concerns around custody risk, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency for large-scale investors[1]. This development supports the broader evolution of the BTCFi ecosystem, enabling institutional participants to engage with Bitcoin in a manner that aligns with traditional financial workflows.

The collaboration reflects the growing importance of institutional-grade infrastructure in the staking space. Previously, staking was largely accessible to retail investors or smaller institutions with the technical resources to run staking nodes independently. With the introduction of custodial staking services, larger financial entities can now participate in the same ecosystem, benefiting from the security and compliance assurances provided by established custodians like Hex Trust[1].

This move aligns with an industry-wide shift toward greater institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial tools. As more organizations explore digital assets as part of their investment strategies, the need for trusted infrastructure that can manage risk, liquidity, and compliance becomes increasingly critical. The joint offering by Core Foundation and Hex Trust provides a transparent and scalable solution that meets these operational requirements[1].

Core Foundation and Hex Trust have not disclosed specific financial details or projected returns for the service. However, the partnership emphasizes the development of a robust and adaptable infrastructure to serve a wide range of institutional clients. By combining Hex Trust’s custody expertise with Core’s staking capabilities, the service aims to position institutional investors to participate in the evolving digital asset landscape with confidence[1].
