Core & Hex Trust allows dual staking of Bitcoin and CORE in regulated custody.

Partnership targets APAC institutions with BTCFi solutions that focus on compliance.

A licensed infrastructure ensures custody separation as well as secure staking integration.
Core Foundation has partnered up with digital asset custodian Hex Trust in order to integrate dual-staking capabilities into institutional custody accounts throughout Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. The collaboration allows asset managers, banks, and organizations to stake Bitcoins and CORE tokens while maintaining regulated custody without transferring assets onto third-party platforms.
By connecting to Hex Trust, institutional clients will be able to earn protocol rewards and “timelock Bitcoin” in order to protect the Core network. This approach meets institutional demands for compliance friendly Bitcoin yield strategies which preserve existing custody relationships.
BTCFI Institutional Adoption: Targets for Regulated Infrastructure
Core’s dual-staking will be offered as a native solution on Hex Trust’s regulated custody platform. This eliminates the need for institutions working with unregulated staking service providers. This structure allows for custody separation, while enabling participants to participate in “BTCFi”, a decentralized finance model based on Bitcoin’s security.
Hong Sun, Institutional Contributor for Core, said that the partnership unlocks Bitcoin’s utility for institutional clientele who are looking to convert their holdings into productive assets. The partnership focuses on areas in which Hex Trust has an established client base and a strong regulatory position.
Calvin Shen, Chief Commercial Officer at Hex Trust, highlighted the partnership’s contribution to institutional Bitcoin acceptance while maintaining security requirements needed by asset managers and firms. The integration uses Hex Trust’s fully-licensed infrastructure to deliver staking services across target markets.
Product Development is Driven by Institutional Requirements
Before distributing significant Bitcoin to staking programs the collaboration must meet institutional requirements for reliable reward mechanism, distinct custody separation and robust accounting records. Hex Trust’s expanded staking program and regulated custody track-record directly respond to institutional requirements.
Hex Trust leverages its regional regulatory licenses, client relationships and client relationships in APAC and MENA to capture institutional demand. This geographic targeting may provide first-mover advantage in regions where institutional cryptocurrency adoption is growing.
Core’s dual-staking technology allows simultaneous Bitcoin staking and CORE tokens staking, maximizing reward potential while maintaining network safety contributions. Technical integration with Hex Trust’s custody systems requires coordination of blockchain protocols and traditional asset-management infrastructure.
