Swiss-based AMINA Bank AG has achieved a major milestone in institutional crypto adoption. The FINMA-regulated financial institution is now the first bank in the world to offer staking services for Polygon’s native POL token, providing regulated access to blockchain rewards for institutional investors.
Institutional Access to Polygon Staking
AMINA’s launch of POL staking marks a turning point for regulated crypto banking. Institutional clients can now stake Polygon tokens through AMINA’s custody platform while remaining fully compliant with Swiss KYC and AML standards.
By staking, investors help secure Polygon’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network, validating transactions and earning rewards that could reach up to 15% annually. This reward rate, made possible by a partnership with the Polygon Foundation, gives institutions both attractive yield opportunities and governance participation within the network.
Strengthening Polygon’s Ecosystem
The collaboration arrives as Polygon’s network demand surges. The blockchain already holds around 30% of the remittance market, supported by a high volume of stablecoin transactions. With AMINA now offering a trusted, compliant route for institutional engagement, Polygon stands to capture even greater liquidity and long-term support from traditional finance players.
Polygon’s Momentum Builds
Beyond staking, Polygon continues to deliver significant technical and ecosystem wins. A September report by Dune Analytics and RWA.xyz revealed that Polygon hosts over $1.13 billion in Real World Asset (RWA) value locked, underscoring its growing footprint in tokenized assets.

Recently, Polygon rolled out its “Rio” upgrade on the Amoy testnet, designed to handle up to 5,000 transactions per second. Central to this is PIP-64, which introduces a Validator-Elected Block Producer (VEBloP) — a step toward greater scalability and decentralization.
AMINA’s entry into Polygon staking blends institutional-grade compliance with decentralized finance opportunities. It signals a growing trend where traditional banking infrastructure begins to merge with blockchain innovation — safely, transparently, and at scale.
