According to Odaily, The Tie, a platform for crypto data and institutional services, has acquired staking service provider Stakin. This marks The Tie's first acquisition and its official entry into the crypto infrastructure sector. Stakin manages assets exceeding $1 billion and operates non-custodial staking infrastructure across more than 40 blockchain networks. The transaction was completed through a combination of cash and equity, though the specific amount was not disclosed. All 15 employees of Stakin will join The Tie but will continue to operate independently. The Tie plans to gradually expand its infrastructure services to include decentralized bridging, oracle, and RPC services, building on its staking business foundation.
