Aquanow Hold

Aquanow Hold is an institutional-grade crypto custody platform that enables financial institutions to offer secure digital asset storage integrated with traditional fiat custody services. The solution provides the infrastructure and regulatory licensing needed for banks, brokerages, and payment providers to custody cryptocurrency on behalf of their clients.

Custody Infrastructure

Custodial Wallet Services - Enterprise-grade hot and cold wallet infrastructure with multi-signature security, hardware security module (HSM) integration, and institutional-grade key management. The platform supports 70+ cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchain networks.

Crypto ERP System - Comprehensive accounting and reporting system for tracking crypto holdings, transaction history, and valuations. Integrates with traditional financial reporting systems to provide unified views of both fiat and crypto assets.

White-Label Customer Portal - Customizable web and mobile interfaces allowing end customers to view balances, initiate transfers, and manage their crypto holdings under the client's brand. The portal provides transaction histories, tax reporting documents, and account statements.

Fiat-Crypto Integration - Unified custody platform managing both traditional currencies and digital assets within a single system. This integrated approach simplifies reconciliation, reporting, and customer experience for institutions offering both asset types.

Security and Governance

Access Governance Policies - Configurable role-based access controls, approval workflows, and segregation of duties. Support for multi-level authorization requirements based on transaction amounts, asset types, or destination addresses.

Transaction Authorization Policies - Flexible transaction controls including whitelisted addresses, daily/monthly withdrawal limits, time-based restrictions, and dual-control requirements. Policies can be customized per customer, asset type, or use case.

Asset Coverage - Broad support across 70+ cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, major altcoins, stablecoins, and ERC-20 tokens. Support for 10+ major fiat currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, etc.) within the integrated custody platform.

Operational Features

Integrated Brokerage Functionality - Clients can offer trading services directly from custody, allowing customers to buy, sell, and swap assets without moving funds to external exchanges. This integration reduces counterparty risk and improves capital efficiency.

Transaction Data Enrichment - Detailed transaction metadata including source/destination information, counterparty identification (where available), transaction categorization for tax reporting, and compliance annotations.

On-Premises Solutions - For highly regulated institutions or those with specific security requirements, Aquanow offers on-premises deployment options. This allows institutions to maintain custody infrastructure within their own data centers while leveraging Aquanow's technology stack.

Licensing and Compliance

Aquanow's custody solution includes regulatory licensing support across multiple jurisdictions. The platform maintains compliance with custody regulations in Canada (FINTRAC), United States (FinCEN), Spain (Banco de España), and UAE (VARA). This multi-jurisdictional licensing allows clients to offer custody services without obtaining their own crypto custody licenses in many cases.

Comprehensive audit trails, transaction monitoring, and reporting capabilities support regulatory compliance requirements including Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), and sanctions screening.

Target Clients

Banks looking to offer crypto custody alongside traditional banking services. Wealth management firms wanting to custody digital assets for high-net-worth clients. Brokerages seeking integrated trading and custody platforms. Payment providers needing custodial wallets for customer balances. Enterprises requiring secure storage for treasury cryptocurrency holdings.
