first_img BNY has partnered with Figment to support staking on its digital asset custody platform

According to The Block, banking giant BNY will adopt the validator infrastructure of staking service provider Figment to support its staking business. Eligible institutional clients can stake assets within the platform through BNY's existing digital asset custody services.Figment stated that BNY's staking clients include asset management companies, ETF issuers, corporations, and wealth management institutions. Qualified clients can earn staking rewards on supported assets on the platform. A Figment spokesperson told The Block that ETH will be supported initially, followed by an expansion to SOL, although no specific launch date has been announced.Ralf Roth, head of BNY's digital asset custody, stated that as institutional participation in staking increases, the focus is shifting from whether staking can be accessed to how staking is delivered. Providing staking services in a trusted custody framework with Figment allows institutions to have more confidence in their participation methods and meets their standards for security, oversight, and accountability.Josh Deems, head of revenue at Figment, stated that Figment is bringing its validator infrastructure and staking experience to BNY's digital asset custody platform, providing institutional clients with another way to participate in staking within existing platforms and service processes.BNY launched its digital asset custody services in October 2022, initially accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum from a limited number of clients. Last month, BNY expanded its custody agreement with Ripple to cover XRP and RLUSD, and plans to allow BNY clients to mint and redeem RLUSD through the bank.Coinbase Prime integrated Figment's Ethereum staking services in early 2024, and when the two announced an expansion to networks such as Solana, Cardano, and Sui in October 2025, they stated that the partnership had facilitated over $2 billion in asset staking. Figment claims it has provided staking services to over 1,500 institutions, including asset management companies, custodians, exchanges, and wallets.

first_img Chinese companies reduce eSSD orders, Samsung and SK Hynix increase supply to the U.S

ZDNet Korea reported on November 12 that storage companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have decided to allocate additional supplies of enterprise-level solid-state drives (eSSD) that are currently being discussed with Chinese customers to U.S. customers. Major Chinese artificial intelligence companies such as Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent have decided to reduce the scale of eSSD orders to below expectations, and storage companies are aware of this situation. The report states that after the U.S. strengthened export controls on artificial intelligence to China, the supply of high-performance artificial intelligence semiconductors such as graphics processors and high-bandwidth memory has become difficult, leading to a decrease in the demand for accompanying storage.eSSD is a NAND-based storage module primarily used for data centers, serving as an auxiliary storage device for data preservation. Insiders indicate that the main reason for the order reduction among Chinese companies is the difficulty in supplying artificial intelligence semiconductors. The U.S. government has effectively prohibited companies like NVIDIA and AMD from exporting high-performance artificial intelligence semiconductors to China, and the accompanying high-bandwidth memory is also subject to controls. Previously, Chinese companies had circumvented these controls through overseas entities and product disassembly, but these alternative routes have gradually faced obstacles, causing delays in investment plans.Another insider stated that the adjustment of eSSD supply plans for China by storage companies is true, and the related supply volume plans are being shifted to U.S. cloud service providers. This person noted that the storage demand from U.S. data centers remains robust, and the supply shortage may continue into next year and the year after. Industry insiders say that the tight supply of NAND in global markets such as the U.S. is still ongoing, and the reduced demand in China will be taken up by U.S. data center companies; this adjustment will not have a significant impact on the overall demand for NAND and SSD.
