One key point to consider is the central role that qualified custodians play in the asset management space. Institutions typically trust these custodians to hold their assets securely. When it comes to restaking with EigenLayer, the process often involves using DeFi wallets like Metamask, Trust, or Rainbow. This poses a challenge for institutions, as their custodians or wallet providers need to integrate with EigenLayer to facilitate the restaking process. Without these integrations, access to the EigenLayer ecosystem is limited, making it difficult for institutions to engage with staking providers like Twinstake.
It’s worth noting that many institutionally focused custodians have yet to fully integrate with EigenLayer, creating barriers to entry for institutions seeking to participate in staking activities. This limitation underscores the importance of collaboration and integration within the digital asset ecosystem, as institutions look to navigate the complexities of decentralized finance.
