GlobalStake to power staking for Crypto.com’s Custody and Exchange clients via secure, bare-metal infrastructure built for regulatory alignment, performance, and scale
[New York, NY: July 24, 2025] – Crypto.com, one of the world’s leading digital asset trading platforms, has partnered with GlobalStake to deliver next-generation staking services to institutional clients using Crypto.com Custody, Crypto.com’s institutional-grade custody solution, and the Crypto.com Exchange, the platform’s trading offering for institutional clients and advanced users. As Crypto.com’s first fully bare-metal staking partner, GlobalStake’s infrastructure is now integrated into Crypto.com’s secure custody and exchange platform, offering immediate access to high-performance staking on Solana, Ethereum, Cronos, DOT, TAO, and other leading proof-of-stake protocols.
This partnership allows institutional clients to engage in compliant, audit-ready staking directly through Crypto.com’s trusted interface, meeting the rising demand from asset managers, funds, family offices, and sovereign institutions to optimize digital asset yield within regulated frameworks.
This collaboration enables both of Crypto.com’s staking paths (Custody and Exchange assets), leveraging GlobalStake’s robust bare-metal infrastructure and strategically distributed global data-center footprint to meet a diverse range of client needs. Omnibus staking via exchange wallets offers a streamlined and highly efficient experience for those who prioritize simplicity and speed. Meanwhile, direct staking from segregated custody accounts empowers clients who require heightened governance, transparent reporting, and strict compliance controls. Backed by GlobalStake’s low-latency global network and independently operated hardware, this dual-service model delivers the scalability, reliability, and geographic flexibility that sophisticated institutions demand.
“GlobalStake’s infrastructure brings the highest level of security and independence to staking,” said Karl Turner, Director, ETF Partnerships and Business Solutions at Crypto.com. “Their commitment to decentralization, performance, and operational transparency aligns perfectly with the custody needs of our institutional clients. We’re proud to bring this to market together.”
Built for Institutional Scale and Trust
As the regulatory environment becomes more stringent and institutional appetite for yield grows, clients are seeking solutions that go beyond consumer-grade staking models. This partnership delivers a secure, compliant, and ESG-aligned solution that integrates directly into the workflows of institutional investors without compromising on performance or risk controls.
GlobalStake’s self-operated, high-performance infrastructure provides Crypto.com institutional clients with validator-level access, enhanced reporting, and the ability to stake across geographies and mandates — positioning the partnership as a market-leading staking solution for institutional clients.
Key highlights of this collaboration include:
- Unmatched Security: GlobalStake’s SOC 2 Type II and CCSS (in progress) certifications ensure institutional-grade security for your assets. These certifications establish a gold standard in security, enhanced by Crypto.com’s custody platform.
- Exclusive Reporting Powered by MG Stover: MG Stover, a recognized leader in digital asset reporting, has partnered exclusively with GlobalStake to offer clients best-in-class, institutional-grade staking reports. This collaboration enhances transparency, simplifies audits, and streamlines back-office integration for fund managers and allocators.
- Unparalleled Choice & Performance: GlobalStake provides complete control and flexibility. Stake across over 40 blockchains, choose specific jurisdictions for regulatory compliance, and experience exceptional global performance with our independent, custom staking-tuned infrastructure.
- Sustainability — Stake with a Conscience: GlobalStake is carbon-negative, removing more greenhouse gases than it generates. The more you stake with GlobalStake, the greater your positive impact on the environment.
- Cost-Efficiency & Higher Returns: Thanks to GlobalStake’s self-owned infrastructure, this partnership translates to competitive pricing, allowing you to maximize returns on your staked assets.
“We’re proud to support Crypto.com’s Institutional Custody and Exchange platform as a trusted infrastructure partner,” said Rich Shorten, Co-Founder & Chairman of GlobalStake. “Together, we’re delivering the infrastructure that institutions have been waiting for — compliant, battle-tested, risk-diverse infrastructure, and built for the future of regulated digital assets. In addition to supporting Crypto.com as a partner, GlobalStake also leverages Crypto.com as a platform to manage the liquidity in GlobalStake’s own treasury assets — a testament to our shared view of the collaborations that will drive the next stage of digital asset adoption.”
