We’re proud to announce a strategic partnership between TruFin and GSR, designed to accelerate institutional adoption of liquid staking across leading proof-of-stake networks.
Through this collaboration, GSR will provide OTC liquidity and collateral support for TruFin’s suite of liquid staking tokens (LSTs), significantly enhancing the utility and accessibility of staked assets for institutional investors.
This partnership marks a major step toward realizing our shared vision: enabling secure, compliant, and liquid access to staking rewards at scale.
Expanding Access to Liquid Staking for Institutions
TruFin offers institutional-grade liquid staking infrastructure across multiple chains — including Aptos, Polygon, NEAR, Injective, and Solana. Our protocol is designed from the ground up to meet the operational, regulatory, and risk management needs of professional market participants.
A growing segment of these participants are Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATs), which have emerged as some of the largest buyers of crypto assets in 2025. DATs manage sizeable on-chain treasuries and seek secure, compliant ways to maximise returns while preserving liquidity. TruFin’s suite of liquid staking products is purpose-built for this need — combining additional yield generation, institutional-grade infrastructure, bespoke OTC liquidity, and the ability to use staked assets as collateral across both CeFi and DeFi venues.
By partnering with GSR, a global leader in crypto market infrastructure and liquidity provision, we’re unlocking new ways for institutions to engage with staked assets beyond traditional on-chain staking.
Key Benefits of the Partnership
This partnership unlocks a range of benefits for holders of TruFin’s LSTs:
OTC Liquidity on Demand
GSR will provide over-the-counter liquidity for each of TruFin’s LSTs, giving institutional holders the ability to exit or rotate positions efficiently, even during periods of low on-chain liquidity.
Expanded Use of LSTs as Collateral
GSR will accept TruFin’s LSTs as collateral for bespoke financing, lending, and structured product strategies — creating yield-bearing opportunities on top of staked assets.
Enhanced Utility Across Chains
The partnership spans five major networks — Aptos, Polygon, NEAR, Injective, and Solana — bringing consistent liquidity and collateralization support across a multi-chain institutional staking environment.
Unlocking the Next Era of Staked Asset Utility
This partnership sets the foundation for a new class of institutional products built on top of TruFin’s liquid staking architecture — where assets are not only staked and earning rewards, but also tradable, composable, and usable across both centralised and decentralised markets.
Together with GSR, we’re enabling a future where staking is no longer a siloed yield strategy, but a fully integrated component of institutional portfolio construction.
