AMINA Bank Switzerland Launches Regulated Polygon (POL) Staking for Institutions

Swiss-regulated cryptocurrency bank AMINA has achieved a global milestone by becoming the first banking institution to offer regulated POL staking services to institutional clients. The Polygon blockchain's native token now provides qualified participants including asset managers and corporate treasuries with compliant staking access, enabling them to earn rewards while supporting network security under financial regulations. Through this strategic partnership, AMINA clients can achieve up to 15% in staking rewards, combining the bank's base yield with additional incentives from the foundation. This expansion builds upon AMINA's existing POL custody and trading services, creating a regulatory-compliant pathway for institutions to engage with blockchain infrastructure trusted by major financial players including BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Franklin Templeton for their tokenization initiatives. AMINA's Chief Product Officer Myles Harrison emphasized that the service effectively bridges traditional finance with "the networks that matter." The bank, previously operating as SEBA Bank, maintains licensing from Switzerland's FINMA and holds additional regulatory approvals for crypto services in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong. Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron highlighted this development as evidence that institutional players "aren't just buying tokens anymore — they want to participate." Polygon, functioning as an Ethereum scaling solution that processes transactions for under one cent with settlement times under five seconds, has emerged as a primary network for on-chain finance. The ecosystem currently supports over $1 billion in tokenized real-world assets and nearly $3 billion in stablecoin value, with POL maintaining a $2.5 billion market capitalization at time of reporting.
