CESR benchmarks and insurance-supported pledge products promote institutionalized ETH staking
CoinDesk columnist Jordan Knecht stated that some traditional financial institutions believe that staking carries risks such as penalties, outages, operational failures, and unpredictable returns, and therefore only hold spot ETH or avoid related assets.
Jordan Knecht mentioned that a new generation of insurance-backed staking products is benchmarked against the Composite Ether Staking Rate (CESR) and is underwritten by regulated insurance institutions, making staked ETH closer to institutional yield products rather than a crypto experiment. He disclosed that CESR is a daily standardized benchmark interest rate developed by CoinDesk Indices and CoinFund, used to measure the average annualized return of ETH validators' staking; Chainproof collaborates with IMA Financial Group to provide policies that supplement returns when validator returns fall below CESR and provide compensation in the event of penalties, with related arrangements also used to support collateral, rebalancing, and structured strategy design based on staked ETH.
