Institutional Staking Gains Ground as BitGo Supports 21Shares ETPs
-

Institutional crypto infrastructure is increasingly embracing staking as a core offering, and the latest BitGo–21Shares expansion underscores the trend. BitGo will now support custody and staking for 21Shares’ US and global ETPs, providing investors with a regulated, integrated platform for trading and earning rewards on crypto holdings. By combining BitGo’s custody and execution capabilities with staking services, 21Shares clients can access more seamless investment strategies while maintaining compliance with US and European regulations.
The move comes amid growing institutional interest in liquid staking solutions and yield-focused products. Similar expansions have been seen recently, including Coinbase’s integration with Figment for staking Avalanche, Solana, Aptos, and Sui, as well as Anchorage Digital’s partnerships to offer liquid staking for Hyperliquid. With BitGo now publicly listed on the NYSE under BTGO, the company is positioning itself as a central player in the next generation of regulated, yield-generating crypto infrastructure.
