Institutional clients gain secure, non-custodial access to native crypto yields with top-tier infrastructure

Leading digital asset firm Zerocap has selected global institutional staking provider Pier Two to offer institutional investors a new way to drive returns from their crypto holdings. Zerocap clients will now have the option to stake and accumulate rewards on assets like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and other Proof of Stake (PoS) digital currencies without having to actively manage a portfolio.

With Pier Two’s non-custodial staking infrastructure, the collaboration will deliver institutional-grade access to competitive native crypto yield, while ensuring investors retain control over their own crypto assets.

Via Pier Two, Zerocap will facilitate APYs ranging from 3% to 5% on Ethereum, and 8% to 11% on Solana, based on recent monthly performance, with asset growth tied to market conditions. In addition to ETH and SOL, staking is available for NEAR, POL, TON, and more, delivering diversified exposure and predictable returns in a volatile market.

Staking is Now a Cornerstone Strategy for Institutional Investors

“Staking isn’t just about yield, it’s foundational infrastructure for blockchain security,” said Ryan McCall, CEO and Co-founder of Zerocap.

We’ve taken this step at a time when many investors are seeking safer, more predictable returns as market conditions cool. Staking, which has almost exclusively been limited to individual investors, is now becoming increasingly viable for institutional investors as regulatory conditions mature.

“We chose Pier Two because our institutional clients deserve the best. This ensures they receive reliable staking rewards through infrastructure that meets the highest standards of security, uptime, and compliance,” he said. 

Across the industry, approximately 74.5% of SOL’s total circulating supply and 29% of ETH are currently staked, highlighting the growing acceptance of staking as a stable yield-generating strategy.

Multi-Asset Staking and Analytics via Custodian Integration

In addition to ETH and SOL, Zerocap will support staking across multiple proof-of-stake chains, including NEAR, POL, TON and more, offering a diversified approach that aligns with today’s market conditions. In a period marked by declining traditional returns and heightened market uncertainty, the ability to stake assets securely provides a safer alternative for investors seeking steady income. Clients can also expect integrated reporting and analytics via leading custodian infrastructures like Fireblocks, ensuring continuous, round-the-clock asset management.

Trusted Infrastructure Backed by Leading Validators and Secure Operations

“Zerocap has an incredible reputation as a deeply trusted investment platform, and we are delighted to provide Zerocap with best-in-class staking services,” said Patrick McNab, CEO and Co-Founder of Pier Two.

“Zerocap’s clients will be able to stake on leading Proof of Stake blockchains, contributing to network security, and benefit from Pier Two’s high-performing infrastructure.”

Staking builds on Zerocap’s broader suite of institutional services, including digital asset custody, trading, derivatives, treasury solutions, and Web3 infrastructure.
