Galaxy Digital, a digital assets and data centre infrastructure company, has announced its position as the development company for enterprise-grade liquid staking protocol, Liquid Collective, via its acquisition of Alluvial Finance, the protocol’s former staking software development firm.
Since its 2023 launch in partnership with Alluvial, Liquid Collective has enabled institutional investors who stake ethereum or solana through the protocol to receive tokens representative of their staked positions, which can be used for trading, collateral management, or other onchain strategies.
To ensure seamless integration, Galaxy has started onboarding Alluvial’s team of on-chain engineers and technology, including developer tools intended to streamline integration for exchanges, custodians, and asset managers, in addition to a customisable staking management system, according to the company.
Galaxy also aims to use its institutional knowledge and connectivity to expand the protocol across a variety of new assets and protocols, deepen validator participation, and broaden institutional investors’ access to compliant, liquid-staking products.
Michael Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy, notes: “Galaxy has always built the infrastructure institutions need to operate confidently on-chain — from trading and custody to lending and staking,” adding “becoming Liquid Collective’s development company is a natural extension of that mission”.
CEO of Liquid Collective, Chris Matta, says the company “was built to give institutions a safe, transparent, and enterprise-grade path into liquid staking,” and that “Galaxy stepping in as our Development Company builds on that foundation”.
