Institutional Digital Asset Custody

Copper provides award-winning institutional-grade custody infrastructure built on revolutionary Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology. The platform securely stores and manages digital assets across 50+ blockchain networks, serving over 1,000 institutional clients including hedge funds, trading firms, ETP providers, exchanges, and venture capital funds.

Revolutionary MPC Architecture

Copper's custody solution eliminated single points of failure through its innovative MPC architecture featuring three cryptographic key shards, each independently created and controlled by separate parties. A 2-of-3 quorum is required for transaction signing, meaning no single party can unilaterally move assets. This distributed trust model provides security far superior to traditional single-signature or multi-signature approaches, protecting against both external attacks and internal threats.

Comprehensive Security and Compliance

Copper maintains the highest security standards in the industry with ISO 27001 certification, SOC 2 Type II compliance, bankruptcy-remote asset segregation, and insurance coverage. The platform undergoes regular third-party security audits and penetration testing, establishing it as the most secure institutional custody solution in the market.

The custody infrastructure provides English Law Trust structures for additional legal protection, particularly within ClearLoop's off-exchange settlement solution where client-delegated assets and exchange margins are held under comprehensive collateral agreements providing triple-layer protection against Copper insolvency, exchange insolvency, and client default.

Policy Engine and Institutional Controls

Copper's Policy Engine provides granular control over custody operations, enabling institutions to implement sophisticated governance frameworks including:

• Transaction approval workflows with multi-level authorization
• Role-based access controls (RBAC) for team members
• Address whitelisting and blacklisting
• Transaction limits and velocity controls
• Time-based restrictions and approval delays
• API permissions and rate limits

These controls ensure custody operations align with institutional risk management policies and regulatory requirements.

Comprehensive Blockchain and Exchange Support

The custody platform supports 50+ blockchain networks including all major layer-1 protocols (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Cardano, Polkadot, Cosmos, Algorand) and leading layer-2 solutions. Integration with 40+ centralized exchanges enables seamless trading while maintaining custody security.

Custodian-Agnostic Settlement Infrastructure

Through Copper Network, the platform has evolved into a custodian-agnostic settlement infrastructure integrating with leading custodians including BitGo and Komainu. This positions Copper not just as a custody provider but as comprehensive market infrastructure supporting over 600 active institutional counterparties.

Integration and Operational Excellence

Seamless integration with institutional workflows through intuitive web platform dashboards, comprehensive APIs for programmatic access, real-time and historical reporting suites for operations and compliance, and compatibility with major crypto accounting platforms.

Award-Winning Recognition

Copper has been recognized as Best Digital Asset Custodian by HedgeWeek European Awards (2021-2024), HedgeWeek US Awards (2021-2022), HedgeWeek APAC Awards (2023), and HFM Service Awards across multiple regions and years, recognizing innovation, security, and client service excellence.

Client testimonials emphasize the security foundation: "Safeguarding our digital assets in Copper's award-winning custody architecture provides us with the best security available on the market" (Hany Rashwan, CEO of 21Shares). Alan Howard notes: "Copper's pioneering technology, particularly in the security and speed of cryptocurrency transactions, is essential for the traditional world to offer crypto products to their clients."
