Blockchain-based investment company named Pantera Capital is participating in a seed round in Staked, which is worth $4.5 million, Pantera is leading the race at present. Staked is a startup providing technical facilities and infrastructure to the institutional investors only for non-custodial staking services. The seeding round has other participants apart from Pantera, such as Coinbase Ventures, DCG, Global Brain, and Blocktree Capital along with two more known crypto organizations.
CEO od Staked informed to the media that the company is coming with $25 billion worth of stake-able crypto in the next 15 months. He also went ahead and described it as a tremendous opportunity. The idea behind forming Staked is that investors get an opportunity to blend their crypto assets/money by contributing in the approval drills of proof-of-stake blockchains.
Pantera executive said in a press release issued by the company that it invests in multiple key proof-of-stake ventures in the market, and hence the company was in search of a reliable staking solution. Before investing in Staked, Pantera was first a customer of the company.
The Staked CEO said that its company’s cap table includes every key member who has a stake or can impact stake; he was talking about company’s investors. He further stated that in his company’s perspective, everybody is a potential investor/partner or a client.
Staked CEO Ogilvie founded Staked last March with the help of two other partners. The company’s first client was Multicoin Capital. He said he began conversing with clients all the more comprehensively in May and began to see footing.

Staked gives its clients a chance to decide the protocols. Ogilvie clarified that whenever Staked gives services along with a given token, that is on the grounds that somebody with considerable holdings came to them searching for an answer.
At this moment, the Staked is backing organizations like Tezos, Livepeer, EOS, Dash, Decred and a few more. Investors are willing to contribute in this network fully. More cryptocurrency will be included, he stated, anticipating that 20 coins will come online in 2019.
Any individual is interested and active in staking must be knowing that there’s a great deal of variations between protocols. Staking on Tezos is fixed; here, users are likely to earn money at a balanced and steady rate. On the other hand, Decred works with an increasingly irregular staking approach where clients purchase tickets on an open market that pay out less.
Staked enables holders to turn these complexities over to a group that will optimize them and will handle issues like updates.
As per the business framework Staked follows, it earns ten percent of the income of its clients’ staked tokens. However, the company will get the full 10 percent if it hits 100 percent uptime. Its profit gets reduced in a directly proportional to its time offline.

Staked’s services are not just limited to institutional investors, but they cater to exchanges and wallets too. To extend customer alternatives, Staked will construct courses for token holders to put their assets into platforms that enable them to loan their assets. Staked is open now to anybody for any of its backed protocols.
The company claims that it is ‘one size fits all.’ The CEO of Staked said that If a person somehow happened to go to the yield page on the website, and select Livepeer or Tezos, the site will indicate how to delegate to the company.
