Northstake and Kvarn Capital launch Ethereum staking services on Kvarn X

Digital asset staking services provider Northstake will help to expand Kvarn Capital's offering for comprehensive and secure institutional investment opportunities

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Northstake, the digital asset staking provider regulated by the Danish Financial Authority, has extended its collaboration with Kvarn Capital to support Ethereum (ETH) staking services on the Kvarn X platform. The move will see Kvarn Capital broaden its existing digital asset investing and asset management services for clients while bringing Northstake's ETH staking capabilities to new audiences.

Joonas Järvinen, Founder of Kvarn Capital, said: "This expansion into Ethereum staking is an exciting development for our clients in the Nordics, for the first time accessing institutional-grade staking services with Ethereum as the biggest PoS blockchain at the forefront. We're proud to enhance our service offerings and contribute to the growth of digital assets in the Nordic countries." 

Allowing investors to access institutional-grade staking services further increases the utility and appeal of the Ethereum ecosystem as a whole, while ensuring that Kvarn's clients have direct access to unrivaled institutional staking services. As a highly regulated staking service provider, Northstake's services come with high standards of transparency and compliance with a verified source of funds, full control of validator nodes, and no commingling of assets.

Jesper Johansen, Founder and CEO of Northstake said: "We're pleased to see Northstake's services integrated into Kvarn X's suite, which includes a professional brokerage and custody platform, along with EU-compliant Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs). This is a significant opportunity for us, as Kvarn X provides Northstake with important access to Nordic investors as they broaden their portfolios to include staked ETH. The demand behind this move furthers our belief that Ethereum staking products will be a key tool for institutional investors. We're looking forward to enhancing the investment options of Kvarn Capital's growing client base. "

Having raised $3M in funding in 2023, the company has since announced collaborations and integrations with Coinify, GL21 Capital, Kvarn Capital, Flare Network, NEAR Protocol, Polygon and, most recently, 3iQ. Northstake also boasts blue-chip partnerships with industry giants such as Fireblocks and Chainalysis. This, coupled with its expanding network presence, and strong financial support leaves the company well-positioned for further growth and success.
