BISON said it has expanded its staking services to include Solana, allowing retail users in Germany to participate in blockchain validation and earn rewards as interest in yield-generating crypto products continues to grow.
The platform, operated by Boerse Stuttgart Group, said customers can stake Solana with a minimum of 0.1 SOL and receive rewards on a weekly basis. The move adds to its existing staking offering, which already includes Ethereum, and reflects increasing adoption of staking among retail investors in the region.
Low Entry Threshold Targets Retail Participation
The introduction of Solana staking lowers the entry barrier for users who want to participate in blockchain networks without managing technical infrastructure. By setting a minimum requirement of 0.1 SOL, the platform is positioning the service for smaller investors rather than only high-volume participants.
Staking allows users to lock up digital assets to support network operations such as transaction validation and consensus, in return for rewards. These rewards are typically distributed based on protocol rules and can vary depending on network conditions and participation levels.
Ulli Spankowski, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of BISON, commented, “By expanding our staking offering to include Solana, we are meeting the growing interest of our BISON customers in staking as part of a trusted, simple, and secure offering. The advantages of staking with BISON include low minimum amounts as well as crypto custody in Germany by Boerse Stuttgart Digital Custody GmbH, which is licensed under MiCAR.”
The reference to regulated custody highlights how providers are positioning staking services within compliance frameworks, particularly in Europe where regulatory requirements for digital assets are becoming more defined.
Staking Becomes Core Feature For Platforms
BISON said staking adoption is already widespread among crypto investors in the DACH region, with a significant share of users participating in such services. This trend has led platforms to integrate staking directly into their offerings rather than treating it as a separate product.
The addition of Solana reflects how platforms are expanding beyond a single asset to offer multiple staking options. Each blockchain operates with its own reward structure, and the availability of different assets allows users to diversify participation across networks.
The platform indicated that the annual percentage rate for Solana staking currently ranges between 4% and 8%, with the exact return determined by the underlying protocol. These rates can fluctuate based on factors such as network activity and the number of tokens staked.
Providing staking within a trading platform simplifies access for users, but it also introduces dependencies on how the service is structured, including custody arrangements and reward distribution mechanisms.
Regulation And Custody Shape Offering
The service is available to users in Germany and operates within a regulated custody framework provided by Boerse Stuttgart Digital Custody. This structure reflects how staking services are increasingly linked to compliance requirements, particularly under European regulations governing digital assets.
Regulated custody can address concerns around asset security and operational risk, which have been factors in how institutional and retail investors evaluate crypto services. For providers, aligning staking with licensed custody solutions can support trust and broader adoption.
At the same time, staking carries risks, including potential changes in reward rates, lock-up periods, and protocol-specific factors that can affect returns. Users must rely on the platform’s infrastructure to manage these processes while retaining exposure to underlying blockchain dynamics.
BISON said it plans to expand its staking offering further, indicating that additional assets may be added over time as demand continues to develop.
