Deus X Capital-Backed Solstice Labs Unveils Solstice Staking AG with Key Acquisition
Solstice Labs Acquires Bridgetower Capital GmbH, Securing $1 Billion in Staked Assets
Solstice Labs, a leading institutional DeFi enterprise supported by Deus X Capital, today announced a significant milestone with the acquisition of key assets from Bridgetower Capital GmbH, a premier institutional staking operator based in Switzerland. The acquisition establishes Solstice Staking AG, a Swiss public limited company headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, under the full ownership of Solstice Labs.
Solstice Staking AG integrates on-premises, banking-grade staking infrastructure powered by 100% renewable energy, tailored for institutional clients. The company’s partnerships with top-tier platforms like Lido and Cordial Systems emphasize its commitment to excellence in institutional staking, RPC, and MPC services. A standout feature is its collaboration with Lido, securing over $1 billion worth of ETH for staking services and becoming an early implementation partner for Lido’s cutting-edge Vault offering—facilitating exclusive staking pools for institutional clients.
