HashKey Cloud, a leading institutional staking service provider, is acting as the node operator for HashKey Exchange’s newly launched ETH staking service. This collaboration is a major step for compliant digital asset services in Hong Kong. It offers a professional and safe way for TradFi clients such as banks and brokerages plus retail investors to stake Ethereum.

As the Ethereum network and its Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism continue to mature, network validation has become a key option for global institutions seeking digital asset allocation. However, traditional institutions have faced major problems when trying to earn from Web3 activities like Ethereum staking. These problems include technical barriers, safeguarding asset security, and unclear regulations. Furthermore, the common practice of commingling user assets in pooled staking models often falls short of the rigorous risk management standards required by institutional clients.

As a premier provider of professional infrastructure, HashKey Cloud delivers efficient, stable node services that help institutional clients navigate the complexities of network access and operations. Through this partnership, HashKey Cloud is introducing a 'Dedicated Node' model powered by its enterprise-grade deployment solutions. For staking requests of 32 ETH or more, HashKey Cloud provisions and manages an exclusive validator node for the client. This approach ensures a direct one-to-one mapping between staked assets and network rewards, eliminating fund commingling at the infrastructure level. By enhancing asset segregation and transparency, this model meets the rigorous risk management standards of traditional institutions and high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). For added security, HashKey Cloud has also partnered with OneInfinity by OneDegree to provide tailored, reliable insurance coverage for client assets.

Head of HashKey Cloud, Jun Shen, stated: "Supporting a licensed platform's Ethereum staking service as its infrastructure provider is a major milestone for HashKey Cloud. It enables traditional financial institutions to participate in Ethereum network validation through regulated channels. At the same time, this collaboration also shows our capability to provide middle-office technology solutions for licensed exchanges and financial institutions, expanding beyond our direct services to institutional clients."

As the only provider in Hong Kong supporting ETH ETF Staking and the first to support ETH DAT Staking for a publicly listed company in Japan, HashKey Cloud has set an industry benchmark in node services. The company intends to continue keep strengthening the infrastructure to deliver secure and reusable node solutions for licensed platforms. It aims to help financial institutions explore new business opportunities within a compliant framework.
