The Vault, P2P.org enable native institutional staking

The Vault integrated P2P.org’s validator infrastructure into its institutional custody platform, the companies announced from Cyprus on July 13, 2026. The feature allows clients to activate staking for supported assets without transferring holdings out of custody. The service launches with support for Ethereum (ETH) and TRON (TRX); additional networks will be added over time.

The integration embeds P2P.org’s non-custodial validator stack inside The Vault’s custody environment so institutions can use the same interface and workflows to enable staking. By keeping assets within custody, regulated entities can avoid transferring holdings to external staking providers, a process they often find operationally complex and exposing to additional counterparties.

P2P.org operates validator infrastructure with more than $10 billion in delegated assets across over 40 proof-of-stake networks. The company reports no slashing incidents across eight years of operations. P2P.org’s systems are SOC 2 Type II certified, and it holds an AAA Verified Staking Provider rating.

The Vault provides custody and treasury infrastructure to corporate treasuries, financial institutions, professional asset managers, family offices and payment providers. Its platform runs in SaaS, hybrid and on-premise deployment models and uses proprietary threshold multi-party computation cryptography developed by its in-house research team to protect private keys and signing operations.

Alexander Loktev, chief revenue officer at P2P.org, commented: “A non-custodial validator operation with a track record they can verify is what makes that possible. This integration puts that directly inside The Vault’s custody environment, with no tradeoff between control and access.” Artem Stopnevich, chief executive of The Vault, noted the integration responds to growing institutional interest in income-generating asset strategies.

The Vault cited a recent institutional investor survey by Nomura in which 66% of respondents expressed interest in staking among sought-after digital asset services. The company described the integration as part of a product roadmap to bring custody, treasury operations and yield-generating services together within a regulated framework.

Staking rewards are issued by each protocol and are variable. Institutions using the embedded staking service will receive rewards according to each network’s rules while assets remain under The Vault’s custody controls.
