Sheesha Finance and Royale Finance Partner to Leverage Premier DeFi Staking Mechanism
The partnership utilizes Sheesha’s Mutual Fund model allowing Royale network participants access to a variety of DeFi project rewards without direct investment
Sheesha Finance, the first one-stop-shop for investors to get diversified exposure to DeFi projects, and Royale Finance, a cross-chain DeFi solution using liquidity pools to provide funding for iGaming startups, announced a partnership leveraging the staking mechanism features of the Sheesha platform. The partnership innovates traditional DeFi blockchain staking and brings additional value to all network participants by providing portfolio diversification while minimizing risk.
With the growing popularity of DeFi projects, many investors are now looking to invest in promising, authentic DeFi startups. Sheesha Finance has created a unique model that embraces full-scale transparency and integrity, while supporting reputable DeFi ecosystems such as Royale Finance.
Sheesha Finance uses a staking mechanism called a “Liquidity Generation Event” (LGE) that encourages participants to select an available blockchain network and contribute Ethereum (ETH) or Binance Coins (BNB) in return for Liquidity Provision Tokens (LP) on the network they have chosen. The LGEs are open for a certain period of time, and in this instance, two weeks.
“Our goal has always been to improve the De-Fi ecosystem and transform its operational mechanisms,” said Saeed Hareb Al Darmaki, Founder of Sheesha Finance. “By leveraging our liquidity generating events, we are able to help De-Fi projects expand market reach, gain new investors and holders. Our newest partner, Royale Finance has been a totem for transformational changes in the iGaming niche and we are proud to work with them to further grow their network influence by utilizing our unique staking mechanism.”
“The partnership with Sheesha Finance is extremely important for us. It provides the much-needed distribution stability lacking in most DeFi ecosystems today,” said Matthew Armstrong, COO at Royale Finance. “This mutually beneficial partnership helps Sheesha expand its network partners and reach while providing Royale network participants an interesting investment avenue through Sheesha’s liquidity generation events.”
Liquidity Provision Tokens (LP) can be staked to continuously earn Royale Finance tokens ($ROYA) as well as other network tokens available under the Sheesha ecosystem. Increased participation in this program will greatly improve the overall metrics of Royale Finance, control the distribution of $ROYA in the market, curb inflation, and attract bigger investors looking to team up with valuable players in the DeFi/iGaming niche. Royale Finance will give a certain amount of their native token, $ROYA, from their liquidity mining to help support this joint staking initiative.
Sheesha Finance has conducted external audits of its platform to validate the security protocols and ensure its smart contracts are error-free; Sheesha received a 100% grading by Zokyo, a highly reputable auditing firm. Sheesha’s approach exposes its users to a wide array of interesting DeFi projects and foregoes the stress of manually searching for viable DeFi investment opportunities. By staking LP tokens with Sheesha, network participants will be able to earn Sheesha’s native tokens as well as the tokens of other existing and potential future DeFi projects on the platform.

Compliance Updates
Crypto.com Receives Limited Financial Institutions Licence in Europe
Crypto.com has announced another regulatory milestone: its EU MiCA regulated entity has received a Limited Financial Institutions licence from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). The approval allows the company to continue delivering its full suite of stablecoin services – qualifying as payment services – across the European Union, without disruption.
This additional licence is for the provision of services exclusively in relation to electronic money tokens (EMTs). The licence was acquired to navigate a complex regulatory landscape resulting in overlapping crypto asset services (MiCA) and payment services (PSD2). By securing the Limited Financial Institution Licence, Crypto.com has addressed both regulatory regimes ensuring full compliance across every aspect of its stablecoin operations.
Crypto.com’s Malta entity received MiCA approval in January 2025, allowing the company to passport services across the European Economic Area (EEA). Notably, Crypto.com already holds a full Electronic Money Institution (EMI) licence in Europe, making it one of the most comprehensively authorised platforms operating in the region.
“We are one of the most regulated crypto platforms in the world and receiving this licence proves, yet again, that we are committed to working with authorities to ensure the strongest compliance standards. Our stablecoin business and services remain a pivotal part of our European product offering so it was vital we secured this limited licence to continue providing seamless access to our institutional and retail customers,” said Eric Anziani, President and Chief Operating Officer at Crypto.com.
The limited Financial Institutions licence adds to Crypto.com’s expanding list of licences and registrations globally including, but not limited to, a UK Electronic Money Institution licence (FCA), a Major Payment Institution licence in Singapore (MAS), a Virtual Assets Service Provider licence in Dubai (VARA), U.S. Money Transmitter Licences, U.S. Designated Contracts Market (DCM) & Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) licences and recently conditional approval from the U.S. OCC for a National Trust Bank Charter.
