BitGo is pleased to announce native Lido liquid staking, unlocking new ways for institutions to earn staking rewards—without compromising on security, control, or liquidity.
With this launch, the service will be made available to clients in Europe and Asia first. Clients can stake ETH to mint stETH and unstake stETH back to ETH, all directly through the BitGo UI. No more complex workflows. No more unbonding delays. Just secure, seamless staking integrated with the most trusted ETH liquid staking protocol in the market.
Built for Institutions. Powered by Lido.
Lido is the largest Ethereum staking protocol by market share, securing more than 25% of all staked ETH. Since 2020, it has distributed over $2.4 billion in rewards to users. With deep liquidity, best-in-class security, and DeFi utility, stETH is the go-to liquid staking token for Ethereum.
"BitGo’s integration is an important milestone for institutional liquid staking. By enabling native ETH staking using Lido directly through regulated custody, BitGo unlocks the full institutional value of stETH’s deep liquidity, providing institutions with a regulated and capital-efficient pathway to manage their digital asset strategies,” added Kean Gilbert, Head of Institutional Relations, Lido Ecosystem Foundation.
Now, for the first time, institutions can access Lido staking directly through BitGo—with custody-grade infrastructure and smart contract-level integration.
Clients can now:
-
Stake ETH and mint stETH within the BitGo platform
-
Access instant liquidity by trading stETH through deep secondary markets
-
Stake any amount, with no minimums
-
Use stETH across DeFi for lending, restaking, and collateralization
BitGo Staking: Unmatched Scale and Performance
This integration is another major milestone in BitGo’s mission to give institutions more ways to earn, more flexibility in managing assets, and more control over their strategy.
BitGo now secures:
-
$48 billion in staked assets, making us the number one staking platform in the world
-
Over $100 billion in total assets under custody
-
Stable, secure, and optimized reward flows for more than 2,000 institutions
We’re not just enabling staking. We’re setting the new standard for how it should be done—securely, natively, and at scale.
Earn More. Stay Secure.
Getting ~3% in ETH staking rewards is just the beginning. With stETH, clients can continue putting their assets to work in DeFi while still earning rewards—making their capital work harder, without ever leaving the safety of BitGo.
This is liquid staking built for institutions. Ready to stake ETH with the best? Connect with us to get started.
