Institutional Custody

Institutional Custody groups regulated or enterprise-oriented services that safeguard digital assets for funds, corporations, financial institutions, and professional investors. The category includes qualified custodians, bank-operated custody units, MPC or multisignature wallet infrastructure, segregated cold storage, policy-controlled transfers, settlement connectivity, and asset-servicing functions. Editorial coverage should examine licensing, legal segregation, key governance, insurance, staking or collateral services, integrations, security incidents, acquisitions, and recovery procedures. Consumer self-custody wallets and read-only portfolio tools sit outside this group because institutional custody involves delegated control, contractual obligations, and operational accountability.
