Our take

As the popularity of cryptocurrency continues to rise, institutions and professional investors hope to break into the world of digital asset trading. However, trading with the compliance and security expected of these organisations can be more difficult than with traditional, non-digital assets.

Zodia Custody enables these institutions, corporations and investors to embrace digital assets without sacrificing safety nor complicating processes, by acting as a digital asset custodian. It is specifically designed for use by institutions, being regulatory compliant, agile, and comprehensive, with a focus on due diligence, security, and governance.

Importantly, Zodia's system has been created to work as a professional investor or institution would expect it to, integrating into their normal operations. It is registered in the UK, Ireland and most recently Luxembourg, with 160 years of institutional custody expertise behind it - being a subsidiary of Standard Chartered and supported by Northern Trust and SBI.

The company has raised substantial funding that will fuel international expansion efforts - it is already set to establish a crypto asset venture in Japan - alongside being invested in improving Zodia Custody's interchange and off-exchange settlement services as it seeks to protect client assets that are traded on crypto exchanges.
