The Tie Acquires Stakin ($1.5B AUD) to Launch Infrastructure Solutions Division
Today, we’re excited to announce that The Tie has acquired Stakin, an institutional-grade staking provider with $1.5B in assets under delegation and a seven-year track record delivering secure, scalable staking infrastructure.
This acquisition marks our entry into digital asset infrastructure and staking, and the launch of a new business line: Infrastructure Solutions - designed to complement our existing institutional platform spanning Market Intelligence, Compliant Communication, and Corporate Access & Advisory.
Why this matters
Staking has become increasingly commoditized, with many providers offering similar services at similar price points. We believe the next chapter of staking is not just about yield - it’s about integrating infrastructure into a broader institutional ecosystem.
By bringing Stakin into The Tie, we’re building a unified gateway for institutions to enter and scale within digital assets - combining staking infrastructure with market intelligence, compliant communications, and access.
What’s changing (and what’s not)
- Stakin’s institutional-grade staking infrastructure remains core to the offering.
- The Tie is now expanding beyond data and workflow tools into infrastructure solutions - starting with staking.
- Over time, staking will be more deeply integrated into The Tie platform, enabling institutions to unlock more value across intelligence, access, and services.
A better model for institutional staking
Staking shouldn’t be a standalone commodity. We see it as an entry point into a broader institutional relationship.
By delegating stake to The Tie, clients will be able to receive preferential access to our suite of institutional solutions - spanning The Tie Terminal, data products, and events - creating meaningful benefits for existing customers and a compelling entry point for new institutional clients.
As Joshua Frank, Co-Founder & CEO of The Tie, put it:
“By combining Stakin’s top-tier infrastructure with The Tie’s institutional platform, we can offer a better model - where staking isn’t just a standalone service, but a gateway to institutional-grade intelligence, access, and solutions. Delegating stake to The Tie gives clients another way to engage with our platform and unlock value across everything we offer.”
And Edouard Lavidalle, Co-Founder & CEO of Stakin, added:
“Stakin was built to deliver institutional-grade staking infrastructure at scale. Joining The Tie allows us to connect staking infrastructure to a broader institutional platform - creating a differentiated offering for institutions and accelerating the next phase of digital asset adoption.”
