Liquid Staking For Finoa
Just 6 months after leaving European telecoms behemoths, Daniel Schrader and Andreas Dittrich have given their hand to create a unit at Finoa, a cryptocurrency custody provider, for developing a framework to assist PoS networks.
BaFin regulated Finoa, will work with StakeWise, the organizations made the announcement on Monday. The latest Finoa Consensus Services subsidiary will provide liquid staking.
As Ethereum, the 2nd biggest blockchain in the crypto sphere, is shifting from PoW algorithm to PoS algorithm, partakers operating the validator nodes are required to stake ETH tokens on the network, for which yield can be generated over time.
Providing participants a way to have their piece of pie and eat it, liquid staking platforms offer users with IOU tokens representing assets tied to a network for verification and staking motives, unlocking the capabilities to utilize those liquid tokens in DeFi protocols, for example.
Dittrich stated that he liked working with Deutsche Telekom, with this astounding power backing them and using it once in a while. He further added that the pace at which things move in an organization such as Finoa is massive and it is entirely crypto native.

Still, recent events leading to the destruction in Terra ecosystem and collapse of LUNA and Terra UST, may impact regulators’ and perspective of sophisticated mechanisms utilized to earn yield from next-gen blockchains.
Dittrich stated that regulations are going to be implied in this sector. Maybe the pure framework part of staking may remain like an IT or technical service.
He further added that, If we are talking about liquid staking which is getting close to becoming a monetary service. Entities are required to brace themselves for institutional customers who actively want to back PoS networks and desires to do more with their assets. In short, we are bracing the crypto sphere for future regulations.
