Vaduz, Germany, November 26th, 2025, Chainwire

Liechtenstein Trust Integrity Network (“LTIN”), Solstice Staking AG (“Solstice”), Bitcoin Suisse AG (“Bitcoin Suisse”), and Obol Collective (“Obol”) today announce the launch of a dedicated institutional-grade Ethereum Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) cluster, combining high-performance staking infrastructure, sovereign regulatory frameworks, and decentralised validator coordination. This multi-partner initiative delivers a new benchmark for institutional Ethereum staking: secure, resilient, compliant and decentralised by design.

Institutional Collaboration

The three-party DVT cluster merges technical resilience with regulatory trust. It offers geographically redundant validator infrastructure, zero-downtime performance, and clear jurisdictional frameworks across Switzerland and Liechtenstein. 

Why DVT Matters

Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) allows Ethereum validators to be run collaboratively by multiple independent operators. This eliminates single-operator failure risks, improves uptime and decentralisation, and enhances network resilience. For institutions, DVT bridges the gap between compliance and decentralisation, unlocking a new standard of trust in staking.

Clients benefit from:

• Enhanced uptime and slashing protection
• Multi-jurisdictional redundancy
• EU and Swiss regulatory compliance
• Transparent validator governance

Leading institutional investors share this vision. As highlighted by Pantera Capital in their Our Obol Thesis, DVT represents “one of the most important technologies advancing Ethereum’s decentralisation,” enabling validator infrastructure to become “more robust, fault-tolerant, and collaborative — exactly what large-scale participants require to participate safely.” 

Key Highlights – Advancing Ethereum Staking

• Enhanced Network Decentralisation: By operating across multiple entities — LTIN, Solstice and Bitcoin Suisse — the cluster contributes to a broader, healthier Ethereum validator ecosystem, aligning with Ethereum’s long-term decentralisation goals.
• Built for Institutions, Benefiting the Network: The collaboration expands Ethereum’s validator diversity by bringing regulated, sovereign infrastructure into the public staking landscape, helping secure the world’s most decentralised network.
• Institutional-Grade Security & Compliance: Validators are run on institutional-grade Swiss and Liechtenstein infrastructure, compliant with the Liechtenstein Blockchain Act (TVTG) and Swiss regulations, ensuring safe, auditable staking for enterprises.
• Powered by Obol DVT: The cluster leverages Obol’s DVT architecture to distribute validator key shares across independent operators and geographies, removing single points of failure and minimising downtime risk.

Availability

The DVT cluster is now open for institutional onboarding. Interested enterprises, funds, and custodians can contact any of the partners for staking service integration.

Quotes

“This initiative demonstrates the power of sovereign blockchain infrastructure: reliable, transparent, and fully compliant. Together, we are anchoring Ethereum’s decentralisation in Liechtenstein’s regulated environment.” — Marc Degen, Member of the Board of Directors Telecom Liechtenstein, LTIN

“Obol’s mission is to decentralise Ethereum’s validator layer by enabling collaborative staking across operators. Partnering with Solstice and Bitcoin Suisse allows us to extend DVT’s resilience and decentralisation principles to the institutional market — a vital next step for Ethereum’s future.” — Collin Myers, Co-Founder, Obol Collective

“This collaboration sets a new operational benchmark for Ethereum staking. By combining sovereign infrastructure with distributed validator technology, we’re delivering the highest possible levels of resilience and transparency for institutional clients.” — Marcus Maute, Managing Director, Solstice Staking AG

“With this DVT cluster, we’re extending Bitcoin Suisse’s decade-long commitment to trusted, regulated access for digital assets. Bringing decentralised validator coordination into a sovereign, compliant framework is the natural evolution of institutional Ethereum staking.” — Yves Holenstein, Head of Custody & Staking, Bitcoin Suisse AG

“Distributed Validator Technology represents the institutional layer of Ethereum staking. At Pantera, we saw DeFi mature from experimental to institutional-grade infrastructure, and we backed Obol early because we recognized DVs would follow the same path. They’re now becoming the standard for how serious capital secures the network, and Obol has built the technology that makes this possible at scale.” — Paul Veradittakit, Managing Partner Pantera Capital.
