Announced on Oct. 9, Swiss digital asset bank Amina has launched a regulated POL staking service, enabling qualified clients to earn up to 15% in rewards. The initiative highlights a growing shift among institutions from passive token investment toward active participation in blockchain infrastructure.
A Regulated Gateway to Yield and Network Involvement
Amina’s staking program offers institutional investors—including asset managers, pension funds, family offices, and corporate treasuries—a compliant avenue to stake Polygon (POL) tokens. The framework adheres to strict standards of custody, governance, and risk management, ensuring alignment with institutional mandates.
Through its partnership with the Polygon Foundation, Amina combines its base yield of 4–5% with an additional reward boost from Polygon, allowing participants to earn up to 15%. The service builds on Amina’s existing custody and trading support for POL, further strengthening the bridge between traditional finance and Web3 ecosystems.
Chief Product Officer Myles Harrison said the launch underscores Amina’s mission to connect institutions with meaningful blockchain networks. “This service empowers our clients to contribute to the stability and security of one of the industry’s most widely used ecosystems,” he added.
Polygon’s Expanding Role in Institutional Blockchain Adoption
Polygon continues to serve as a cornerstone for institutional blockchain initiatives, attracting players such as BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Franklin Templeton for tokenization and on-chain finance. The network currently supports nearly $3 billion in stablecoins, leads the market in USDC micro-payments, and recently exceeded $1 billion in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).
Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron called the partnership a milestone for the sector: “Institutions aren’t just buying tokens anymore—they’re actively participating in the networks that matter.”
Amina’s latest offering comes amid robust growth for the Swiss bank, which reported a 69% increase in revenue in 2024 to $40.4 million, alongside a 136% rise in assets under management (AUM).
