Cardano holders will soon be able to stake tokens securely at Coinbase Custody.

  • At the Cardano Virtual Summit Friday, chief developer house IOHK announced it had signed an agreement with Coinbase Custody.
  • From Q4 2020, users will be able to stake their ADA tokens from inside Coinbase's cold storage.

  • Sam McIngvale, Coinbase Custody's head of product, said the regulated product would help projects, like Cardano, find more mainstream acceptance.
  • Tezos inked a similar staking agreement with Coinbase Custody in November 2019.
