Zodia Custody, an institution-first digital assets platform supported by Standard Chartered, in connection with Northern Trust, SBI Holdings, and National Australia Bank, has unveiled support for Ethereum staking under the Pectra upgrade, in collaboration with Blockdaemon and Twinstake.
Through the launch, Zodia Custody will become one of the initial institutional custodians to provide Pectra-capable staking framework, representing a development in how institutional clients can stake ether (ETH) with increased autonomy, operational efficiency, and optimised returns.
Ethereum’s Pectra (Prague + Electra) upgrade is a dual-layer hard fork that reshapes the staking experience for large ETH holders.
The changes deliver secure withdrawals and control, reduced operational complexity and optimised returns for institutional investors, asset managers, and financial institutions.
Anoosh Arevshatian, chief product officer at Zodia Custody, says: “We have all witnessed the size of the ETH entry and exit queues recently. As one of the first custodians to support the Pectra upgrade, we are making a tangible impact to our clients’ bottom line, with capital efficiency and liquidity risk controls.
Thomas Ozenda, technical specialist at Zodia Custody, adds: “Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade marks a major step forward in how staking is managed across the network. In partnership with Blockdaemon and Twinstake, we’ve enhanced the underlying infrastructure to make staking operations more resilient and streamlined. This ensures our clients benefit from network-level improvements while maintaining the security and control they expect from Zodia Custody.”
