Staking provider P2P.org said it has gone live with its Staking-as-a-Business (SaaB) model for institutions. The offering aims to help platforms like exchanges, wallet providers and custodians add staking and decentralized finance (DeFi) services to their businesses to diversify avenues of growth.

The company said it currently has more than 1 million staked ether and recently surpassed $7.4 billion in total value locked, or TVL.

Staking allows cryptocurrency investors to put their holdings to work by earning passive income without needing to sell them. Institutional staking operates in the same manner but en masse. There are non-custodial and custodial staking providers.

As well as staking infrastructure, the SaaB model will offer support services such as marketing, legal and sales support, a press release said.

"This holistic support ensures a smooth transition for businesses venturing into staking & Defi services, guaranteeing a successful and profitable implementation,” said Artemiy Parshakov, head of product at P2P.org.

P2P.org raised $23 million in funding last April from a trio of crypto industry heavyweights including Jump Crypto. Various other institutional-focused staking startups have come to fruition in the last year, such as Northstake, which raised $3 million from PreSeed Ventures.

P2P.org is a validator for Ethereum and 30 other blockchains, according to the press release.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

16:9 Image

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
