Zodia Custody has partnered with non-custodial liquid staking protocol Marinade to enable Solana staking through Zodia Gateway.
Standard Chartered-backed crypto custodian Zodia Custody has integrated with Marinade, a stake automation platform on the Solana blockchain, to offer its institutional clients expanded access to Solana staking, the company said in a press release.
The collaboration allows investors to directly stake Solana (SOL) from Zodia’s cold wallets through the Zodia Gateway platform, which curates third-party services for institutional clients.
This is Zodia’s fifth blockchain addition, complementing its existing staking support for Ethereum (ETH), Polkadot (DOT), Cardano (ADA), and BNB Chain (BNB). Zodia Custody chief executive Julian Sawyer said the collaboration strengthens the company’s efforts to streamline access to staking opportunities, making it “easier for institutions to access staking opportunities.”

The collaboration comes a month after Zodia Custody teamed up with crypto exchange Deribit, enabling institutional clients to access market derivatives liquidity while retaining their assets in segregated cold wallets. Prior to that, Zodia secured undisclosed funding from Australia’s largest bank, adding to previous investments from Standard Chartered, Northern Trust and SBI Holdings.
In July, Zodia Markets, a crypto trading firm, acquired Alan Howard-backed Elwood’s OTC branch Elwood Capital. With the acquisition, the firm got access to an execution management system with tools for accessing liquidity as well as a portfolio & risk management system.
