ADGM Authorised Persons permitted to conduct staking activities using clients' Virtual Assets and firms providing related digital-asset services.
Formalises client Virtual Asset staking, extends scope beyond pure Proof-of-Stake where materially similar, limits client rewards to Accepted VAs and Accepted FRTs, and clarifies disclosures and reporting.
Affected firms should confirm permission scope, eligible staking models, reward types, client terms, disclosures and reporting against the final COBS-related requirements.
Offering client staking outside the permitted firm categories or without required terms, disclosures and reporting can create regulatory exposure.
