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.

The Solana block space market Gravity Block Exchange (GBX) has announced its launch on the Solana mainnet. GBX positions itself as an open and neutral block space market, where block builders compete for the ordering of each block through auctions, rather than having a single scheduler complete the ordering. Its goal is to create a unified ordering market that increases the value of validator block space through competition among builders, while providing users with a clear set of rules.The mainnet operation status announced by GBX includes: approximately 5% of the total staked validators have been connected, with rewards 20% to 30% higher than the cluster average. Currently, there are two independent block builders participating in each round of auctions, namely Bifrost from Astralane and Titan Builder from Gattaca. Public documents show that validators can connect through the Gravity Connector sidecar without the need for a custom validator fork, currently supporting Agave and Jito-Solana, while support for Firedancer is still in development; when external ordering paths are unavailable, validators can fall back to the native scheduler.

TON Strategy Company (TONX), listed on NASDAQ, announced its Q3 2026 financial report, with revenue of $13.1 million, primarily from staking rewards of its GRAM treasury, down from $15 million in Q2. As of the end of the quarter, the company held approximately 235.1 million GRAM (formerly Toncoin), valued at $348.5 million, of which 232.9 million were staked, with an annualized gross yield of about 16%. During the same period, the company repurchased $5.7 million in stock and supported the TON network upgrade while launching the native Gram Wallet on Telegram.The financial report showed that TON Strategy had a net loss of $24 million for the quarter, which included an unrealized loss of $27.2 million on its GRAM holdings, compared to an unrealized gain of $82.8 million in the previous quarter. The company stated that it has made progress in cost structure efficiency after ending the business inherited from VERB. CEO Kevin Wilson mentioned that GRAM has been integrated into several existing services of Telegram, including advertising payments and creator monetization, with TON supporting on-chain ownership and transfer of Telegram usernames and gifts; the expansion of access to the native wallet is expected to make GRAM more convenient for payments and transfers, bringing more opportunities for consumer-grade applications based on TON.TON Strategy was formerly Verb Technology Company, which raised approximately $560 million in a deal led by Kingsway Capital in August 2025, transforming into a treasury company for The Open Network's native token, which was renamed Gram earlier this year. Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of Telegram, stated on X on Monday that over 700,000 self-custody wallets were created on Telegram in the past 48 hours. TONX's stock price rose 2.4% on Tuesday, with an annual increase of nearly 25%.

CryptoQuant analyst PelinayPA pointed out that the price trend of Ethereum is diverging from staking activity. The staking rate for Ethereum 2 has increased by about 4.32% since May, with approximately 36.32% of the total ETH supply currently staked.Although the price of ETH on Binance has dropped from around $2,800 in October to $2,132, the staking rate continues to rise, indicating that investors have not significantly reduced their staking commitments due to the weak price. Analysts believe that a higher staking participation rate reduces the supply of ETH available for trading, which may provide price support when demand is strong, but staked ETH is not permanently locked, as validators can initiate withdrawals.At the same time, total staking inflows have decreased by 40.11%, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between long-term staking growth and daily inflow activity. Overall, Ethereum maintains a potentially supportive supply-side dynamic in the medium to long term; if the market can absorb selling pressure and attract sufficient demand, ETH may lay the groundwork for a stronger upward trend.
