In a move reflecting the growing institutional demand for digital asset yields, Cactus Custody announced support for Lido V3 stVaults to expand institutional access to Ethereum staking. According to reports, this integration aims to drive institutional adoption of liquid staking protocols by providing a regulated custody solution that balances risk management with customization capabilities. This step allows institutional clients to participate in securing the Ethereum network while maintaining the liquidity of their staked assets.
This expansion comes as the liquid staking sector experiences significant growth, with Lido currently controlling over 28% of the total staked Ethereum market share according to market data from Dune Analytics. In comparison to peers, Cactus Custody is positioning itself against platforms like Coinbase Custody and BitGo, which offer similar institutional services. Experts suggest that providing tools like stVaults lowers the technical and regulatory barriers that previously deterred large investment funds from entering the space.
