Hex Trust and Chorus One Partner to Launch Institutional Stacks (STX) Staking

Chorus One and Hex Trust are thrilled to announce the expansion of their strategic partnership to unlock institutional access to Stacks (STX) staking, delivering the power of Bitcoin Layer-2 directly into regulated, secure custodial environments.

Unlocking Bitcoin’s Programmable Potential for Institutions

Through this integration, Hex Trust’s institutional clients can now stake STX and earn native Bitcoin rewards via Stacks’ innovative Proof-of-Transfer (PoX) mechanism, all within a fully compliant, bank-grade custody platform. This partnership brings together Hex Trust’s regulated custody expertise and Chorus One’s industry-leading staking infrastructure, empowering institutions to participate in the next evolution of Bitcoin DeFi with confidence.

Key Benefits for Institutional Clients

• Earn BTC Rewards: Stake STX and receive Bitcoin payouts, leveraging Stacks’ unique PoX consensus that rewards participants with BTC rather than the staked token.
• No Slashing Risk: Unlike traditional Proof-of-Stake networks, Stacks’ PoX mechanism ensures there are no penalties or slashing for network downtime, offering peace of mind for institutional portfolios.
• Enterprise-Grade Staking Infrastructure: Chorus One manages over 40 POS networks and is ISO 27001 certified, providing the highest standards of security, reliability, and performance.
• Regulated, Secure Custody: Hex Trust is licensed in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai, delivering robust regulatory compliance across key global markets.
• Seamless Integration: Institutions can access STX staking through Hex Trust’s platform, with direct support from both teams for onboarding and ongoing management.

Why Stacks (STX) Staking Matters
Stacks is the leading Bitcoin Layer-2 protocol, enabling smart contracts and DeFi applications secured by Bitcoin. With STX staking (or “stacking”), institutions can:

• Participate in Bitcoin DeFi: Unlock new yield opportunities and programmable use cases for BTC.
• Diversify Rewards: Earn Bitcoin directly, rather than the native token, creating a unique incentive structure.
• Mitigate Operational Risks: Enjoy a staking experience free from slashing and with full transparency.
