Core Foundation, a Bitcoin scaling solution, has joined forces with digital asset custodian Hex Trust to offer institutional clients in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) and MENA regions a new way to earn returns on their Bitcoin.
This partnership combines Core’s “dual staking technology” with Hex Trust’s secure, regulated custody services. The collaboration allows institutions to stake their Bitcoin (BTC) and CORE tokens to earn rewards without needing to sell their assets.
The move comes as institutional demand for Bitcoin-based DeFi and staking continues to grow. Core Foundation has already seen significant success with its dual-staked assets, surpassing $260 million. According to a recent study by Maestro, Bitcoin staking has become a core driver of the Bitcoin DeFi space, with more than $7.39 billion in BTC now locked up.
This new offering aims to give institutional investors in the APAC and MENA regions a secure way to access sustainable Bitcoin yields while maintaining full control over their assets.
