Bison, a cryptocurrency trading platform owned by the Böerse Stuttgart Group, has introduced an insured staking service for Ethereum users.
The new staking feature will allow customers to stake as little as 0.005 Ether (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">ETH</a>) and earn weekly rewards.
The initiative is supported by German companies, including the global reinsurance firm Munich Re, which offers security against the common risks associated with cryptocurrency staking.

<h2 id="staking-with-insurance">Staking with insurance</h2>
Bison’s partnership with Munich Re and Staking Facilities — a German staking provider — will enable the crypto trading platform to provide insured ETH staking.
The insurance is designed to cover the primary risk of “slashing,” which occurs when a network penalizes validators for improper actions, potentially leading to a loss of staked ETH.
Munich Re’s policy also protects against operational errors, technical failures and potential fraud, meaning users can stake their assets with protection against some of the most common risks of staking.

All assets staked through Bison’s platform are held by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority-licensed Böerse Stuttgart Digital Custody, ensuring compliance with German regulatory standards.

Buterin acknowledged the idea of dropping minimum staking deposits to around 16–24 ETH for solo stakers to push the network <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/vitalik-buterin-solo-staking-ethereum-security" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">toward improved security and decentralization</a>.

The move will involve a phased roll-out plan beginning later this year and will initially enable select retail clients to test the new crypto trading options.
