[Coinbase and Figment Expand Institutional Staking to Support Non-Ethereum PoS Assets] According to Golden Finance, Coinbase and institutional staking provider Figment have expanded their collaboration. Coinbase Prime clients can now directly stake various PoS assets such as Solana, Avalanche, Sui, and Aptos through Coinbase Custody, whereas previously staking was limited to Ethereum. Since the partnership began in 2023, it has facilitated over $2 billion in staked assets. Coinbase Prime offers trading, financing, and custody services to institutional investors, covering more than 440 digital assets. Figment manages a total of $18 billion in staked assets across over 40 protocols. This move comes as the U.S. launches multiple staking ETFs, such as the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), and with the SEC confirming that certain liquid staking activities do not constitute securities transactions, institutional staking activities are expected to further expand.
