Crypto asset manager Bitwise has acquired the staking services company Chorus One, which oversees more than $2.2 billion in staked assets and could help Bitwise expand its portfolio of crypto staking products.<\/p>\n

Bitwise said<\/a> on Tuesday that 50 of Chorus One\u2019s employees will join Bitwise Onchain Solutions, where several billion dollars’ worth of crypto assets are already staked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The acquisition could see Bitwise diversify its range of exchange-traded products, including staking, as the Securities and Exchange Commission has shown support for a broader range of crypto investment products<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Staking<\/a> allows holders of crypto tokens to earn rewards, typically between 2% and 10% a year, by locking the tokens on a blockchain, providing investors with additional yield on top of potential appreciation of the underlying token.<\/p>\n

The size of the acquisition deal was not shared. Bitwise did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley said staking remains \u201cone of the most compelling growth opportunities\u201d for its thousands of clients holding spot crypto assets.<\/p>\n

Deal expands Bitwise staking to more chains<\/h2>\n

The Chorus One deal expands Bitwise\u2019s staking capabilities on more than 30 proof-of-stake chains, including Solana, Hyperliquid, Monad, Avalanche, Sui, Aptos and Tezos.<\/p>\n

Chorus One has provided crypto staking infrastructure services since 2018 for finance firms, family offices, high-net-worth individuals, custodians, funds, exchanges and decentralized protocols.<\/p>\n

Bitwise said the Chorus One team would join Bitwise, including Chorus One CEO Brian Crain, who will take on an advisory role.<\/p>\n

Bitwise now has nearly 200 employees worldwide managing crypto exchange-traded products<\/a> for its thousands of clients.<\/p>\n
