Twinstake is proud to be part of the strkBTC Federation, one of five institutions backing the infrastructure that brings native Bitcoin to Starknet with privacy at its core. #strkBTC #Starknet #Bitcoin

Privacy is the missing piece for Bitcoin in DeFi. The strkBTC Federation brings together five independent institutions supporting the infrastructure behind strkBTC. Meet the strkBTC Federation: → @Twinstake_io → @Near_intents → @Luganodes → @UTXOmgmt → @xverse 🧵

Recent events in DeFi have highlighted how quickly risk can compound through interconnected protocols. While DeFi grapples with these issues, it is worth distinguishing the differing risk characteristics of DeFi and native staking. DeFi introduces layered exposures across smart contracts, collateral structures, and liquidity conditions that can propagate under stress. Staking, by contrast, operates through protocol-defined mechanics and presents a different set of risk considerations. We put together a short thought piece outlining these differences and how they have been observed in recent market events. As staking adoption grows, understanding, modelling, and managing the associated risks remains an important consideration for participants, particularly in institutional contexts. This piece does not seek to suggest that one approach is inherently lower risk, but rather to highlight how their risk profiles differ. Link to report: twinstake.com/reports/distin…

We are excited to share that Jennifer Ouarrag, our Head of Legal & Compliance, will be speaking at the Global Digital Asset Finance Summit: Navigating TradFi, DeFi & Consumer Finance, a virtual event taking place on March 19, 2026. Jennifer will join a distinguished panel of industry leaders from Mastercard, Bird & Bird, GlobalStake, and more to discuss institutional adoption of digital assets and the evolving intersection of traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure. With nearly two decades of experience across global legal, regulatory, and digital infrastructure environments, Jennifer brings a unique perspective on: • Regulatory frameworks shaping digital assets • Growing institutional participation in proof-of-stake networks • The convergence of TradFi and decentralized ecosystems At Twinstake, we continue to contribute to these important industry conversations and help enable secure, compliant access to staking for institutions.

Twinstake has partnered with @endurfi to bring institutional-grade liquid staking to @Starknet. This collaboration enables institutions to stake STRK while maintaining liquidity and composability - as well as unlocking Bitcoin staking benefits within Starknet’s scalable ZK execution layer. Twinstake’s existing product features provide high institutional-grade uptime, real-time monitoring, and robust operational controls, designed to support operational and risk management requirements when interacting with Endur. The partnership also strengthens the decentralisation and reliability of Endur’s staking layer, which accelerates the development of a robust BTC yield stack on Starknet.

Today @twinstake_io applied to become an stVault Professional Operator for @LidoFinance, continuing our support of the stETH ecosystem with institutional-grade, non-custodial infrastructure and service. As an institutional-only staking and restaking provider for custodians, ETFs, DATCOs, hedge funds, VCs, asset managers, and other financial institutions, we operate multi-region, multi-provider validators with SOC 2-aligned security, client diversity, and slashing insurance. If selected as an stVault Professional Operator, we will pair this track record with our Tier 1 institutional distribution to help grow Lido v3 vault adoption. Excited to keep building with @LidoFinance on resilient, decentralised, institution-ready Ethereum staking.

As Bitcoin's wrench attacks surge, even OGs are ditching full self-custody for smarter security. Our CEO Andrew Gibb nails it: “The custody landscape is shifting from the crypto-native ideal of total self-control toward models that match the risk appetite and operational rigor of institutional investors.” Read the full article here: When the wrench comes for the wallet: Why Bitcoin’s biggest believers are handing over their keys cryptoslate.com/when-the-wrenc… via @cryptoslate
