Northstake A/S, a Danish virtual asset service provider, recently introduced an ETH staking platform designed for institutional investors. In partnership with Keyrock, a market maker, this platform aims to make liquidity access easier for institutional stakeholders while meeting compliance standards.
The ETH Validator Marketplace addresses the issue of contingent liquidity, allowing asset managers to trade ETH validators and convert spot ETFs into total return ETFs. Northstake’s platform enables the liquidation of ETH validator nodes within hours, providing significant liquidity benefits for institutional investors.
Keyrock is the fourth market maker to join the platform, along with GSR, DV Chain, and Nonco, ensuring strong liquidity support for digital asset managers seeking to optimize staking returns. With approximately $6 billion USD of ETH associated with North American spot ETFs remaining unstaked, this collaboration presents untapped growth opportunities.
Northstake A/S is regulated by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority and operates under compliant staking models for institutions. Keyrock, established in 2017, specializes in market making, OTC trading, and digital asset options, employing a global team of over 170 experts.
