SINGAPORE , March 07, 2025 — 
Core, dedicated to expanding Bitcoin’s first Proof-of-Stake (PoS) layer and the largest Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem, has announced an expansion of its Dual Staking solution in Asia. This is made possible through a collaboration with Cobo, a leading custodian for institutions in the APAC region.

This enables institutions to maximize sustainable Bitcoin yields by staking both Bitcoin and CORE tokens. This collaboration highlights Core’s dedication to promoting the adoption of Bitcoin staking solutions among institutions while adhering to Bitcoin’s self-custodial principles.

Cobo & Core: Driving Blockchain Innovation
Cobo, a global leader in digital asset custody and infrastructure, has transformed how institutions interact with blockchain technologies. As the pioneer of the industry’s first Bitcoin Staking API, Cobo enables institutions to easily integrate staking capabilities into their workflows while utilizing the security of Multi-Party Computation (MPC) wallets. This innovation simplifies staking operations for institutional clients, offering unmatched security and flexibility without needing extensive technical knowledge. Since its founding, Cobo has secured hundreds of billions in transaction value for institutional clients, including family offices, funds, and exchanges worldwide.
Core continues to lead the Bitcoin staking revolution, having launched the first non-custodial Bitcoin staking protocol, securing over 6,200 BTC staked. As the only end-to-end BTCfi solution, Core offers a Bitcoin staking yield product and a Bitcoin-secured smart contract platform. Besides staked Bitcoin and CORE, the Core blockchain is also secured by Bitcoin miners who delegate hash power to earn CORE token rewards, offsetting declining Bitcoin block subsidies. Currently, Core has secured approximately 76% of Bitcoin’s hashrate delegated to its security.
With over 150 EVM-compatible dApps under Bitcoin miner and staker protection, Core is positioned as the #1 Bitcoin Scaling chain, with over $884 million in TVL. “Dual Staking” and “LstBTC” products further solidify Core’s dominance, permanently linking CORE and Bitcoin.
