BitGo Adds Institutional-Grade Access to Marinade Native

‍Marinade and BitGo are setting a new standard for institutional staking on Solana.

Thanks to Marinade’s newly achieved SOC 2 Type I compliance, and BitGo’s leadership in qualified custody, institutions can now stake Solana securely — with full custody, compliance, and industry-leading rewards.

With over $100B in assets under custody, BitGo is the first U.S.-qualified custodian to integrate Marinade Native, enabling non-custodial staking at institutional scale.

This partnership delivers the trust, transparency, and performance institutions require — without compromise.

Institutional Staking with Full Custody and SOC 2 Compliance

Marinade Native is a non-custodial staking solution that allows BitGo clients to stake SOL directly from their wallets — without giving up control. This integration is purpose-built for institutional needs and delivers both performance and security.

🔐 SOC 2 Type I certified, Marinade’s operational and security controls are independently verified to meet rigorous institutional standards.
‍
🏛️ Qualified U.S. custody is provided through BitGo’s regulated infrastructure, ensuring compliance at every step.
‍
📈 Clients earn high staking rewards, powered by Marinade’s Stake Auction Marketplace (SAM), which routes SOL to top-performing validators.
‍
🛡️ With Protected Staking Rewards (PSR), shortfalls from underperforming validators are covered — so returns remain consistent.
‍
🌍 The protocol also reinforces decentralization, as stake is automatically distributed across a diverse, high-quality validator set.
‍
🚫 There’s no smart contract risk — SOL never leaves your custody or enters third-party contracts.
‍
🧩 And everything is accessible via a streamlined UX, fully integrated into the BitGo wallet interface.

“BitGo clients can now stake Solana securely while contributing to decentralization — and earn industry-leading rewards without giving up custody,” said Jake O., Head of Ecosystem Sales at BitGo.

A New Standard for Institutional Staking on Solana

Marinade’s SOC 2 Type I certification marks a key step in aligning with institutional security and compliance expectations — reinforcing trust for clients managing large or regulated positions.

“By combining Marinade’s decentralized staking protocol with BitGo’s regulatory-grade custody, we’re delivering a secure, transparent staking experience that institutions have been waiting for,” said Hadley Stern, CCO at Marinade Labs. “And now, with our SOC 2 compliance in place, we’re raising the bar for institutional-grade infrastructure on Solana.”

With more than 4.48 million SOL already staked through Marinade Native, this partnership strengthens the case for Solana as an institutional-ready blockchain.
