BitGo Launches Solana Staking Expansion Through Marinade Native Integration
BitGo announced today that it has expanded its Solana staking program by integrating Marinade Native, a leading staking protocol developed by Marinade Labs.This integration enables BitGo’s clients to stake SOL directly from their wallets, maintaining custody of their assets. At the same time, users can access competitive staking rewards while helping to decentralise the Solana network. With this move, BitGo becomes the first U.S.-qualified custodian to support Marinade Native staking, further solidifying its position as a leader in institutional-grade crypto custody. What Makes Marinade Native Staking Different? Marinade Native brings two standout features that set it apart from traditional staking methods: To participate, validators must also post an on-chain bond that secures user rewards against the failure of the validator, thereby enhancing overall network security and reliability.

Since its launch in 2023, Marinade Native has rapidly become one of the largest staking platforms on Solana. According to company data, it now boasts over 4.48 million SOL in total value locked (TVL). This growth emphasizes a major trend: institutions increasingly prefer secure, non-custodial staking options as they seek exposure to high-growth ecosystems like Solana without sacrificing custody or security. BitGo’s Push for Institutional-Grade Staking Solutions BitGo’s latest move represents a strong push toward accelerating institutional adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) and staking technologies.By offering Marinade Native staking, BitGo provides clients a secure, transparent, and rewarding way to participate directly in Solana’s thriving blockchain economy. The integration also reflects a broader shift among custodians and crypto platforms: prioritizing non-custodial, user-first solutions that ensure autonomy and mitigate counterparty risks. As Solana continues expanding its footprint in DeFi, gaming, and Web3 infrastructure, BitGo’s support for Marinade Native positions the custodian at the forefront of next-generation staking innovation.
