Hex Trust, a digital assets financial service provider, has integrated custody and staking support for stETH, Ethereum’s liquid staking token issued via the Lido protocol, representing nearly a quarter of all staked ETH.
According to the firm, this integration gives clients secure access to staking rewards and liquidity, with the flexibility to use stETH in decentralised finance while avoiding the operational overhead of managing staking infrastructure directly.
The firm adds that Hex Trust’s integration of stETH addresses core barriers that institutions face when adopting liquid staking, including liquidity management, complex workflows, and a lack of trusted infrastructure.
Hex Trust says that the clients benefit from integrated staking, flexible access and an expanded utility.
Calvin Shen, chief commercial officer at Hex Trust, says: “For institutional investors, efficiency and security are not just preferences — they are necessities. Our solution provides that critical combination: a secure custody platform that enables a seamless one-click staking experience.”
Kean Gilbert, head of institutional relations at the Lido Ecosystem Foundation, adds: “Hex Trust’s integration extends access to stETH, issued via the Lido protocol. This is another step toward making Ethereum staking accessible to institutions in a way that balances security, scale, and liquidity.”
