Introduction
Colossus Digital is partnering with Meria to deliver custody-driven, regulation-aligned staking for institutions. By combining the Institutional Hub with Meria’s secure, non-custodial staking and EU-compliant infrastructure, financial institutions gain access to yield opportunities while ensuring the highest standards of governance, security, and auditability.
About Colossus Digital
Colossus Digital is a technical provider connecting custody and yield providers for institutions. Its Institutional Hub enables banks, asset managers, funds, foundations, exchanges, and other financial institutions to stake 20+ PoS assets directly from their preferred custodian (e.g., Fireblocks, Ledger Enterprise, Dfns) to a validator of choice.
The mission is bridging the gap between custody and staking for the institutional market.
About Meria
Founded in 2017, Meria is among the pioneering cryptocurrency investment platforms to emerge in France. Specializing in staking—a sophisticated investment strategy that allows for the generation of passive income by securing blockchain networks—Meria leverages its technical expertise to democratize crypto assets. By operating secure and high-performance blockchain nodes, Meria serves both individual investors and institutional clients. What sets Meria apart is its infrastructure-focused approach, far exceeding traditional trading services.
What this collaboration means
Custody-to-staking, with compliance at the core.
In-custody authorization & policy continuity: Institutions approve staking transactions directly inside their custodian, inheriting all existing security controls, approvals, and velocity limits.
Regulation-aligned staking: Through this partnership, Institutional Hub customers gain access to Meria’s infrastructure designed around European compliance standards — bridging the gap between on-chain yield and institutional governance requirements.
Transparent validator operations: Meria provides auditable, institution-ready reporting, ensuring full visibility into validator performance and staking rewards.
Unlocking compliant yield: Colossus Digital creates the custody-agnostic connection, while Meria enables institutions to deploy capital securely in alignment with both internal policies and external regulatory obligations.
