Access staking within a regulated environment
Staking within a bank-grade custody framework
Staking with Sygnum allows you to participate in Proof-of-Stake networks. Your assets remain held in Sygnum’s regulated custody environment while possible rewards are credited directly to your account. Stake supported assets easily, securely, and without technical setup.
Institutional-grade staking made simple
Sygnum’s staking service enables you to participate in network validation while keeping your assets securely held within our regulated Swiss custody environment. Potential yields depend on several factors, including the specific asset, network conditions, utilisation levels, and lock-up periods. Staking is fully integrated into Sygnum’s banking platform, so you initiate staking and monitor possible rewards directly in your account.

Staking FAQs
Are my staked Ether secure?
The private keys to your staked (and unstaked) Ether are secured in Sygnum’s institutional-grade multi-custody solution.
Can I trade my staked Ether?
You cannot trade your Ether once they are staked. Please note that staked Ether cannot be unstaked until the Ethereum upgrade that enables withdrawals of staked Ether is live.
How are the rewards generated?
Staking rewards on Ethereum are generated from the Ethereum protocol itself. The Ethereum protocol incentivises users to stake and run validators by rewarding them with newly created (minted) Ether tokens. When Ether is staked, the protocol rewards users in proportion to the amount of Ether they have staked.
How can I stake my Ether in my Sygnum wallet?
On the landing page in the Sygnum e-banking portal, choose the staking tab in the digital assets section and Click on Ethereum 2.0 . If you have multiple client profiles linked to your e-banking user, please select one. You are then taken to an overview screen that displays your trading wallets. You can then choose a trading wallet that contains at least 32 Ether to start staking.
