Swiss state-owned bank Post Finance AG has expanded its digital-asset offering by introducing staking for Ethereum (ETH), allowing holders to earn passive income. The bank plans to add staking for other tokens soon. Post Finance, which started trading and custody services for cryptocurrencies nearly a year ago, is the first systemically important bank to offer staking. This move comes as enthusiasm for digital assets grows in Switzerland and globally, fueled by rising prices and Donald Trump’s return to power in the U.S. Additionally, a group of Swiss crypto enthusiasts proposed a national referendum for the central bank to hold Bitcoin in its reserves, alongside the dollar, euro, and gold. However, the Swiss National Bank remains skeptical of crypto assets.
