Amina Bank launches POL staking service with up to 15% yield

Swiss-regulated crypto bank Amina has become the first institution globally to offer compliant POL staking, allowing qualified clients to earn rewards while helping secure the Polygon network. 

Summary

  • Amina becomes the first regulated bank to offer POL staking for institutional clients.
  • The program offers up to 15% in rewards via a Polygon Foundation partnership.
  • The move strengthens Polygon’s position as a leading institutional blockchain.

Announced on Oct. 9, the service gives qualified clients a compliant way to earn up to 15% in rewards.

The launch signals growing institutional participation in blockchain infrastructure beyond simple token investment.

A compliant path to yield and network participation

The program permits institutional participants, such as asset managers, pension funds, family offices, and corporate treasuries, to stake Polygon (POL) tokens through a regulated framework that ensures adherence to custody, governance, and risk management standards.

Through a partnership with the Polygon Foundation, Amina offers up to 15% staking rewards by combining its base yield of 4-5% with a reward boost from Polygon. The service establishes a smooth bridge between web3 and traditional finance, building on Amina’s previous custody and trading support for POL.

Chief product officer Myles Harrison said the launch reinforces Amina’s goal of bridging traditional finance with the networks that matter. He emphasized that the service will enable institutions to earn rewards for contributing to the stability and security of a widely adopted ecosystem.

Polygon’s expanding role in institutional blockchain adoption

Polygon’s ecosystem continues to attract major financial players including BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Franklin Templeton, who use it for tokenization and onchain finance. The network now supports nearly $3 billion in stablecoins, leads the market in USD Coin (USDC) micro-payments, and recently surpassed $1 billion in tokenized real-world assets.

Polygon Labs chief executive officer Marc Boiron described the partnership as a milestone for the space, noting that “institutions aren’t just buying tokens anymore, they want to participate in the networks that matter.”

Amina’s move comes amid strong growth for the bank, which reported a 69% revenue increase in 2024 to $40.4 million and a 136% surge in assets under management.
