Transparent Digital Asset Custody Services enabling trading and safekeeping of crypto assets while allowing regulation, control and security
Digital assets are becoming mainstream, bringing you not only opportunities but also challenges. Verification of identities, overcoming low trust in digital assets due to past fraud, handling of poor security, as well as emerging and constantly changing regulations and other mishaps have all created uncertainty for digital assets. As adoption increases, these challenges create a need for institutional-grade trading, settlement and safekeeping services in accordance with a variety of local tax laws and regulations.
Digital Asset Custody enables onboarding of all possible digital assets, including crypto’s and NFTs, while automatically safekeeping beneficial ownership and supporting both new and legacy infrastructures. It provides agility to easily deal with evolving regulations, diversifying asset classes, a volatile market, and nascent ecosystems.
