Vaulta staking is now live at Paribu Custody

Category: News  /  Published:

Paribu Custody clients can now stake Vaulta (A). Assets remain in custody throughout, held under ColdShield® and governed by the same controls that apply to every other asset in the account.

Vaulta runs on delegated proof-of-stake with one-second finality and is built around financial applications. Following its rebrand from EOS in 2025, the network positions itself around Web3 banking, with a stated focus on wealth management, consumer payments, portfolio investment and insurance.

Staking brings capital efficiency into treasury operations

Assets held in custody can contribute to network security and receive rewards for doing so. On proof-of-stake networks, staking immobilises assets in exchange for validator privileges that generate block rewards, and the European Banking Authority and ESMA define it in these terms.

For treasury teams, this widens what a custody account can do. Paribu Custody's secure custody infrastructure, built on segregated wallets, quorum-based approval flows and key management, also operates as an operational layer. Clients can access staking opportunities without moving assets outside custody.

Institutional participation has changed the scale of staking

The global staking market reached approximately $245 billion at the start of 2026. Projections place institutional actors in control of more than 63% of the staking market by 2030.

Regulatory frameworks have moved alongside that growth. Dubai's VARA positions staking as an extension of the custody licence, with rules covering client segregation at validator level and explicit client instruction. The UK's FCA brings staking within the regulatory perimeter under its existing financial services framework. Both treat custody infrastructure as the layer where staking belongs.

Paribu Custody's approach: provide the best

Staking at Paribu Custody is run in cooperation with providers whose infrastructure is already used by institutions globally, including P2P, Everstake, Kiln, Figment and Chorus One. Working with several established providers keeps operational risk distributed rather than concentrated in a single operator.

Clients set their own terms within that framework, selecting the network, the provider and the amount that suit their strategy. Rewards, balances and unbonding processes are tracked in real time from the same interface, which keeps staked positions as visible as every other position in the account.

Assets are held under ColdShield®, Paribu Custody's proprietary security architecture bringing together MPC, HSM and Secure Enclave, certified to SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II.

Staking support now covers 25+ networks within Paribu Custody's coverage of 80+ networks and 1000+ tokens.
