Institutional Digital Asset Custody

Service Overview

Zerocap provides institutional-grade digital asset custody through its partnership with Fireblocks as one of their first Global Custodian Partners since 2020. The service combines industry-leading MPC wallet technology with Lloyd's of London insurance to provide the security and assurance institutional investors require.

Core Service Components

MPC Wallet Technology

All digital assets are held in MPC (Multi-Party Computation) segregated on-chain wallets through the Fireblocks Custody Network. This technology eliminates single points of failure in key management while enabling operational efficiency.

On-Chain Verification

Segregated wallets are verifiable on blockchain explorers, providing transparency and proof of reserves that institutional clients and their auditors require.

Insurance Coverage

Market-leading insurance policy from Lloyd's of London covers custody operations, providing additional protection layer for institutional assets.

Integrated Trading

Custody integrates seamlessly with Zerocap's OTC trading and derivatives services, enabling efficient movement between custody and trading without external transfers.

Institutional Staking

Custodied assets can be deployed to staking through Zerocap's Pier Two partnership, generating yield while maintaining custody security (not available in Australia).

Why Institutional Clients Need This Service

Fiduciary Requirements

Institutional investors face fiduciary obligations requiring institutional-grade custody solutions with proper security, insurance, and verification.

Operational Efficiency

Integration with trading eliminates the delays and risks of transferring assets between separate custody and trading platforms.

Audit & Verification

On-chain verifiable wallets and segregated accounts provide the audit trail and proof of reserves that institutions require.

Yield Opportunity

Staking integration enables yield generation on custodied assets without compromising security.

Target Clients

Service Differentiators

Fireblocks Global Custodian Partnership

Lloyd's Insurance

Market-leading insurer provides confidence that self-custody or lesser-insured solutions cannot match.

Custody, trading, and staking through single provider eliminates multi-vendor complexity.
