Cactus Custody Adds Lido V3 stVaults Support for 300+ Institutions

On May 29, 2026, Cactus Custody integrated Lido V3 stVaults via its Cactus Link platform, enabling over 300 institutional clients to create and manage customizable Ethereum staking vaults directly from custody accounts. The move builds on Lido V3’s February 2025 launch and stVaults mainnet rollout in January 2026 by adding smart-contract whitelisting for compliance while preserving optional stETH minting. This reduces custody and customization barriers, potentially boosting institutional staking flows into ETH and expanding stETH liquidity in DeFi markets. Uptake will depend on client onboarding, whitelisting, and jurisdictional approvals.
