The company saw over $80 million in crypto assets staked in 2022. In this direction, the Copenhagen-based business handles the legal and technical aspects of staking, which is the process of supporting a public blockchain like Ethereum by posting collateral to the network in exchange for yield in a way that complies with regulations.

Northstake’s New Partnerships

Through collaborations with the custody technology company Fireblocks and the blockchain analytics service provider Chainalysis, the staking platform Northstake streamlines the procedure while keeping compliance in mind. According to CEO Jesper Johansen, the Danish company is courting interest from sovereign wealth funds and similar institutions.

Institutional investors at the asset manager level, at the sovereign fund level are looking at this and trying to figure out what staking is and where the yield comes from. It’s significant that, in this round that we raised, one of our ultimate beneficial owners is ATP, a state-owned pension fund in Denmark and one of the largest asset managers in Europe.
