The Tie Acquires Staking Rewards
Today, we're excited to announce that The Tie has acquired the Staking Rewards data and platform business from Finrate AG.
Since launching in 2018, Staking Rewards has become the industry's most trusted destination for staking and digital asset yield data, serving more than one million annual users and providing institutional-grade data to leading exchanges, custodians, wallets, validators, asset managers, funds, and protocols across the digital asset ecosystem.
As part of the transaction, Finrate AG will continue to independently operate its Digital Asset Yield Summit and Looping Collective businesses, while The Tie will own and operate the Staking Rewards platform and data business.
What This Means for Staking Rewards Users
For existing Staking Rewards customers and users, nothing changes today.
Your products, services, APIs, subscriptions, and data access will continue uninterrupted. The team will continue investing aggressively in improving the platform, expanding data coverage, and building new capabilities.
Importantly, Staking Rewards will continue to operate as an independent and trusted third-party data platform.
While The Tie also operates Stakin, one of the world's leading institutional staking providers, we believe the value of Staking Rewards lies in its independence, neutrality, and reputation as the industry's trusted source for staking data. That principle will remain central to how the platform operates.
The acquisition does not change how staking providers are evaluated, ranked, featured, or represented on the platform. Maintaining objective, transparent, and comprehensive coverage across the ecosystem remains our highest priority.
Bringing the Best of Both Platforms Together
The acquisition creates significant opportunities for both The Tie and Staking Rewards customers.
Staking Rewards' industry-leading staking and yield datasets will be fully integrated into The Tie Terminal and The Tie's Data APIs, giving institutional investors access to richer, more actionable intelligence across digital asset markets.
At the same time, The Tie will bring many of its proprietary datasets, including on-chain analytics, news, and additional proprietary data, to the Staking Rewards platform, making it an even more powerful destination for protocols, investors, and the more than one million annual visitors who rely on it.
Together, we'll continue expanding the breadth and depth of available data while investing heavily in product development, infrastructure, and user experience.
Expanding Beyond Staking
Staking has become a foundational component of digital asset markets, but it's only one piece of the broader yield landscape.
Over time, we'll continue expanding Staking Rewards into the leading destination for all things digital asset yield including staking, DeFi, and emerging yield-generating mechanisms across the ecosystem.
Greater Distribution for Protocols
Protocols already working with The Tie will benefit from expanded visibility and distribution through the Staking Rewards platform, reaching one of the largest and most engaged audiences focused on staking and yield.
Likewise, Staking Rewards’ protocol customers can gain access to The Tie's extensive institutional network spanning hedge funds, VCs, asset managers, exchanges, banks, and other leading digital asset market participants.
Looking Ahead
The Tie was founded with a simple mission: to build the intelligence and infrastructure that power institutional participation in digital assets.
By combining The Tie's institutional data platform with Staking Rewards' trusted staking intelligence and global community, we're taking another major step toward that mission.
We're incredibly excited for what's ahead and grateful to the Finrate AG team for building one of crypto's most respected brands.
This is just the beginning.
