Swiss-regulated crypto bank Amina has become the first institution globally to offer compliant staking for Polygon (POL) tokens, announced on October 9, 2025. The service allows qualified institutional clients, including asset managers, pension funds, family offices, and corporate treasuries, to stake POL through a regulated framework that ensures adherence to custody, governance, and risk management standards.
Through a partnership with the Polygon Foundation, Amina offers staking rewards of up to 15%, combining a base yield of 4-5% with additional incentives from Polygon. This move strengthens Polygon's position as a leading institutional blockchain and signals growing participation beyond simple token investment. Chief Product Officer Myles Harrison emphasized that the service "bridges the gap between traditional finance and future blockchain infrastructures" and enables institutions to earn rewards while contributing to network security.
Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron described the partnership as a milestone, noting "institutions aren’t just buying tokens anymore, they want to participate in the networks that matter." The Polygon ecosystem attracts major players like BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Franklin Templeton for tokenization and on-chain finance, supporting nearly $3 billion in stablecoins and over $1 billion in tokenized real-world assets. Amina's launch follows its strong growth, with a 69% revenue increase to $40.4 million in 2024 and a 136% surge in assets under management.
