Crypto.com Custody, GlobalStake, and the LUKSO Foundation Partner to Deliver Institutional-Grade Staking

Secure, high-performance staking is now available to custody clients across the LUKSO ecosystem.

We’re pleased to announce that the LUKSO Foundation has partnered with Crypto.com and GlobalStake to introduce institutional-grade trading, custody, and staking solutions across the LUKSO network. This collaboration expands secure and scalable infrastructure for LUKSO’s New Creative Economies and enables Crypto.com Custody clients to access LYX staking operated by GlobalStake. Together, these efforts strengthen the network’s growth, decentralization, and long-term resilience.

As part of the partnership, clients can stake LUKSO (LYX) directly through Crypto.com’s trusted platform, supported by GlobalStake’s bare-metal, SOC 2 Type II-certified validator infrastructure built for high-performance staking at scale.

“LUKSO represents an exciting evolution in blockchain utility, and we are proud to collaborate with Crypto.com and the LUKSO Foundation to help secure this ecosystem,” said Thomas Chaffee, Co-Founder & President at GlobalStake. “Our partnership brings the same level of institutional reliability, transparency, and performance to LUKSO staking that clients already trust across other leading proof-of-stake networks.”

A Purpose-Built Partnership for Institutional Adoption

This partnership strengthens LUKSO’s infrastructure by meeting the needs of institutional participants, including fund managers, exchanges, and enterprise allocators who require secure, compliant, and high-performance solutions for digital assets. By combining Crypto.com’s regulated custody and trading platform, GlobalStake’s independent staking infrastructure, and the LUKSO Foundation’s protocol stewardship, the collaboration delivers an end-to-end staking solution built for institutional adoption.

“The collaboration with Crypto.com and GlobalStake marks an important step for the LUKSO ecosystem. As we continue to build the infrastructure for culture, having reliable, secure, and decentralized staking infrastructure is important. GlobalStake’s commitment to bare-metal infrastructure and institutional-grade standards ensures that the LUKSO network is strong and reliable” — Fabian Vogelsteller, Co-Founder, LUKSO

Together, we are advancing the decentralization and security of the LUKSO network while ensuring a seamless staking experience that preserves control, optimizes yield, and meets the highest standards of governance.

Key benefits for Crypto.com Custody clients staking LUKSO:

• Secure Bare-Metal Infrastructure GlobalStake operates its own physical servers in Tier 4 and Tier 5 data centers around the world, strengthening decentralization and reducing reliance on cloud-based systems.
• Regulatory Alignment and Audit-Ready Reporting Clients benefit from SOC 2 Type II controls and MG Stover-powered staking reports, simplifying fund audits, NAV calculations, and compliance workflows.
• Integrated Custody Experience LYX can be staked directly from Crypto.com Custody accounts, eliminating additional operational steps or the need for third-party transfers.
• Enhanced Rewards and Transparent Economics Competitive fee structures and optimized validator performance enable clients to maximize returns with full transparency into reward generation and distribution.
• Sustainability by Default GlobalStake’s operations are 100% carbon-negative, aligning with ESG priorities and reinforcing the positive environmental impact of the LUKSO ecosystem.
• Aligned with the LUKSO Foundation This partnership reflects LUKSO’s long-term commitment to powering the New Creative Economies through secure network participation and decentralized validator infrastructure.

“Offering clients a most comprehensive, safe and secure custody offering is our goal with Crypto.com Custody,” said Kwon Park, Global Head of Digital Asset Partnerships & MD at Crypto.com. “We work aggressively to stay ahead of client needs and interests, and we are excited to now offer institutional-grade staking of LUKSO.”
