Headquartered in Rome, Italy, Colossus created the Institutional Hub, the only B2B marketplace enabling Digital Asset Holders to access staking, governance, and DeFi protocols natively from custody. The Hub enables native transactions in a safe, compliant and verifiable way across 25+ chains and multiple validators.

The investment was made through SBI Ven Capital’s joint fund with Sygnum Bank and Azimut Group, which aims to accelerate the rollout of Colossus Digital’s Institutional Hub, a two-sided B2B marketplace, that connects regulated custodians with top-tier validators for staking and governance.

> **Lorenzo Barbantini Scanni, Co-Founder & Chief Revenue Officer, Colossus Digital:** “SBI’s backing accelerates our mission to make staking, governance, and interaction with Yield Providers as seamless as a custody transaction. Together we will deliver the tooling banks, asset managers, and exchanges need to capture on-chain yield, without compromising compliance.”

86 % of institutional investors already have—or plan to gain—digital-asset exposure in 2025, underscoring growing demand for secure custody and staking rails. Staking-as-a-service platforms are forecast to surge as institutions seek compliant, yield-generating strategies.
