As stated by the institution, customers will be able to use its banking platform that brings up to a 7% yield yearly. Staking will be possible to do from users' wallets directly.
Sygnum mentioned that with this move, it's expanding portfolio of digital asset yield-making products. Thomas Eichenberger, Business Unit Manager at the bank, says Eth staking is an essential part of investment portfolios.
Last year, the establishment started staking options for Tezos blockchain’s XTZ cryptocurrency. In June 2021, the bank began offering services for several DeFi tokens.
The amount of staked ETH in ETH 2.0 platforms has been rising. According to the latest update, the number hit 6.1 M Ethereum being staked, worth over $14 billion.
