Bitcoin Suisse has joined Liquid Collective to offer liquid staking to their clients as a member of the independent collective of leading web3 teams building and running the protocol, including The Liquid Foundation, Alluvial, Coinbase Cloud, Figment, Kiln, and others. The crypto–financial services provider and trusted gateway to crypto asset investing is the protocol's first Swiss–incorporated Platform focused on targeting the Swiss market.
Once the protocol is live, Bitcoin Suisse's institutional and private clients will be able to stake their ETH through Liquid Collective and use the receipt token generated by the protocol (LsETH) to participate in web3 and DeFi projects. Additionally, LsETH holders will receive coverage against losses from slashable events.
Bitcoin Suisse cited growing demand to participate in staking amongst institutional and private clients, and liquid staking's increased liquidity and capital efficiency, as motivating factors in their decision to join Liquid Collective—along with the protocol's aim to meet the need for a multi–chain liquid staking standard that can be widely adopted, while increasing the liquidity and composability of the web3 economy.
"Institutional and private clients are increasingly looking to participate in staking to earn network rewards," said Bitcoin Suisse Chief Product Officer Michael Gauckler in today's press release. "With this new partnership, Bitcoin Suisse is further advancing the institutionalization of crypto–financial services for our clients and the benefit of the crypto ecosystem."
As a decentralized protocol that aims to meet institutional compliance needs while setting the standard for performance and security, Liquid Collective relies on partnering with industry leaders. Platforms, including trading venues, custodians, and brokers like Bitcoin Suisse, provide a seamless on–ramp for stakers to participate in Liquid Collective. Users who have been identified based on Know–Your–Customer (KYC) standards will be able to utilize an Platform's services to deposit to Liquid Collective and mint LsTokens. With Bitcoin Suisse's participation, the protocol will have an expanded access to the Swiss market.
"Bitcoin Suisse joining Liquid Collective will expand the protocol's access to the Swiss market, furthering our vision to empower global participation in securing the decentralized internet. We are thrilled to collaborate with the Bitcoin Suisse team to unlock more participation in liquid staking with European institutions," said Matt Leisinger, Co–Founder and CEO of Alluvial, a company supporting Liquid Collective's development.
