Galaxy Digital Partners with Zodia Custody to Expand Staking Solutions in Europe
Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. announces a strategic partnership with Zodia Custody, a digital asset platform supported by prominent financial institutions like Standard Chartered and Northern Trust. This collaboration, unveiled on May 7, 2025, aims to enhance Galaxy's staking offerings for institutional investors across Europe. By integrating Zodia Custody’s services, Galaxy enables clients to access secure staking solutions while maintaining asset custody within their preferred jurisdictions. This partnership is particularly significant as it allows institutional clients to maximize rewards through staking while also offering the ability to leverage their staked assets as collateral for loans and other financial products, facilitated by Galaxy's Trading team.
The integration of Zodia Custody into Galaxy’s ecosystem is crucial for institutional investors who require both security and flexibility in managing their digital assets. With Galaxy managing approximately $4.2 billion in assets under stake, the collaboration positions the company to meet the increasing demand for reliable digital asset strategies among large-scale investors. Zane Glauber, Galaxy's Head of Blockchain Infrastructure, underscores the importance of this partnership in providing streamlined staking solutions that align with regional regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance and fostering trust among institutional clients.
Looking ahead, this partnership sets the stage for future joint ventures focused on exchange-traded products incorporating staking and lending, further expanding market access in Europe. Anoosh Arevshatian, Chief Product Officer at Zodia Custody, acknowledges the synergy between their secure technology and Galaxy’s staking infrastructure, highlighting the collaboration's potential to cater to the evolving needs of institutional investors. This strategic alignment reflects Galaxy's commitment to bolstering its blockchain infrastructure solutions and solidifying its presence in the European market.
In addition to this partnership, Galaxy Digital's earlier collaboration with BitGo marks its second custodian integration in 2025, reinforcing its strategy to enhance blockchain infrastructure for institutional clients. As the digital asset landscape continues to evolve, Galaxy remains focused on creating innovative solutions that address the complexities of asset management in a regulated environment.
This alliance not only strengthens Galaxy's service offerings but also illustrates the growing trend of institutional adoption of digital assets, as companies seek to leverage technology for improved asset management and investment strategies.
