Anchorage Digital Bank, the only federally regulated crypto bank in the U.S., just announced that they now offer institutional staking for Starknet’s native token STRK. This means bigger investors and financial companies can keep their tokens safe and at the same time earn rewards by helping secure the network.
Why it matters
This is a big moment for Starknet. When a serious player like Anchorage steps in and makes staking available it gives professional investors more trust to get involved. It could also bring more liquidity and a stronger economy around the STRK token.
What STRK is used for
STRK is the token that powers Starknet. It is used for paying fees, voting in governance and staking to keep the network running smoothly. Anchorage already started offering STRK custody earlier this year and now they have added staking as well. The yield is 7.28% APR which looks attractive compared to low risk assets like US treasury bonds at around 4 -5%.
About Starknet
Starknet is a scaling solution built on Ethereum that uses zero knowledge proofs. It makes it possible to run apps faster and cheaper while keeping the security of Ethereum. Earlier this year staking became part of Starknet’s decentralization plan so holders of STRK can now join in governance and earn rewards.
Another recent decision approved Bitcoin staking for wrapped BTC tokens which makes Starknet even more flexible and interesting for institutions.
What Anchorage and StarkWare say
Anchorage says they want to give institutions safe and simple access to growing crypto ecosystems. StarkWare’s co founder Eli Ben Sasson has said that growing interest from developers and financial companies makes secure staking options more important than ever.
Wider market view
Anchorage is not the only one offering staking to institutions. In Europe Sygnum Bank started Ethereum staking already in 2021 and Komainu added custody for Lido’s staked Ether in 2025. The demand for institutional staking products is clearly growing.
At the same time US Treasury yields are between 4.0% and 4.5%. If rates come down later this year staking in crypto could become even more attractive for investors looking for yield.
TLDR;
