So Hex Trust, this big shot digital asset custodian, decides to roll out custody AND staking support for stETH. Yeah, stETH – Ethereum’s biggest liquid staking token cooked up by some place called Lido protocol. Sounds fancy, right? People who usually avoid managing their own validator systems can now join the party without losing their minds.
The buzz from the official blog? Hex Trust is basically handing institutional investors the chance to snag staking rewards without breaking a sweat or hiring a validator whisperer. Apparently, stETH is so popular it’s practically Ethereum’s version of the Starbucks line. It’s everywhere – lending platforms, trading nonsense, collateral… you name it. If DeFi had a college yearbook, stETH would be “most likely to be included.”
Institutional staking, simplified 🏦 @Hex_Trust now supports custody for Lido’s stETH.
Institutions can hold, deploy, and use stETH on Hex Trust’s platform, getting Ethereum staking rewards without giving up liquidity.

Security Meets Flexibility (As If That Was Ever In Doubt)
Hex Trust, apparently tired of the usual headache that comes with staking, decided to smoosh institutional-grade security together with “liquid staking” perks by adding stETH. Because who wouldn’t want a little extra complexity made to sound like a spa day?
Now, institutions can tuck away their stETH safely, maybe even earn some rewards, and still keep everything flexible enough to juggle loans, collateral, and whatever else sounds profitable without setting up their own validator army.
Someone named Calvin Shen – the Chief Commercial Whatever at Hex Trust – blurts out, “Efficiency and security aren’t just nice to have; they’re essentials.” Gee, thanks Calvin, what would we do without you?
He says Hex Trust’s platform cuts out the headache of managing validators, so clients don’t have to waste time figuring out who to blame when things go sideways.
This whole thing is riding the trend of big institutions finally deciding to poke Ethereum staking like it’s not a hornet’s nest. Custodians, asset managers, ETF folks – they’re all jumping on the stETH bandwagon because it’s “straightforward.” Yeah, right.
And then there’s Kean Gilbert from Lido, throwing in, “Hex Trust’s integration is all about making Ethereum staking accessible with security, scale, and liquidity.” Translation: We figured out how to make this sound super serious so the suits sign on.
