Hong Kong, 24 February, 2026 - Hex Trust, a leading digital assets financial service provider specialising in markets services, custody, and staking, today announced an integration with Monad, the high-performance Layer-1 blockchain designed to deliver parallel execution and full EVM compatibility. This enables Hex Trust to provide institutional clients with access to a compliant staking infrastructure for MON, the native token for the Monad blockchain.
The digital asset industry is rapidly demanding greater speed and efficiency. Monad, with its parallel execution architecture and unique MonadBFT consensus, represents a visionary advance for the EVM ecosystem. It delivers lightning-fast throughput and minimal latency, addressing core scalability issues. However, institutional capital cannot engage with these high-growth networks without guaranteed security and operational rigour.
"This integration is an effort to architect the necessary standards for institutional participation in next-generation DeFi," said Giorgia Pellizzari, Chief Product Officer & Head of Custody at Hex Trust. "We are actively defining the pathway for high-performance networks to secure serious institutional commitment."
Hex Trust’s comprehensive offering ensures institutional clients can participate in the Monad ecosystem securely and efficiently:
“Hex Trust offers a custody solution to institutional audiences in APAC interested in participating in the Monad ecosystem. We’re thrilled to see them continue to innovate on institutional solutions for the Monad network,” said Keone Hon, Co-Founder at Monad Foundation.
This integration provides an opportunity for regulated institutions to access next-generation Layer-1 ecosystems. By integrating Hex Trust’s secure, compliance-first framework with Monad's technological innovation, Hex Trust provides a means to accelerate the flow of institutional capital into high-growth Web3 infrastructure.
