[PRESS RELEASE – Miami, USA, November 5th, 2025]

Everstake, the largest global non-custodial staking provider for institutional and retail clients, has partnered with Utila, an institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure and operations platform, to give institutional clients direct, compliant access to staking on leading Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks, beginning with Solana (SOL) and expanding to Ethereum (ETH) and beyond.

This collaboration addresses significant barriers in institutional staking adoption. Staking provides predictable yields and enhances network security, yet many institutional participants encounter integration, regulatory, and security hurdles. By merging Everstake’s reliable validator performance with Utila’s enterprise-ready wallet infrastructure, institutions can seamlessly incorporate staking into their existing treasury and compliance frameworks while retaining complete ownership, governance, and control throughout the process.

Utila’s platform manages over $15 billion in digital asset volumes monthly for more than 200 institutions, offering comprehensive asset management, fiat on- and off-ramps, and automated workflows via APIs. Each transaction adheres to multi-step approval and compliance policies, enabling clients to scale their digital asset operations without reconfiguring their infrastructure.

By integrating Utila’s secure MPC wallet technology with Everstake’s compliant validator infrastructure, recognized by SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, NIST CSF, GDPR, and CCPA standards, this partnership assures institutional participants of the compliance, transparency, and resilience necessary for effective engagement in on-chain finance.

“Staking is becoming a core digital-asset operation for forward-thinking institutions,” said Bohdan Opryshko, Co-Founder and COO of Everstake. “Together with Utila, we’re aligning decentralized yield generation with the same operational discipline and compliance standards that institutions already apply to custody and settlement — turning staking into a natural extension of existing infrastructure.” “Institutions are asking how to make their balance sheet productive without adding complexity. By integrating Everstake, we’ve turned native yield into part of the existing treasury workflow — same console, same controls, no engineering overhead. One governed process now unlocks staking across multiple networks, making yield generation for institutions as seamless and scalable as settlements or payouts,” stated Bentzi Rabi, Co-Founder and CEO of Utila.

In unison, Everstake and Utila are establishing a new benchmark for institutional staking — merging enterprise compliance with the efficiency and transparency offered by decentralized infrastructure.
