Description
Coinbase Custody functions as a distinct and independently funded entity separate from Coinbase, Inc. Under New York State Banking Law, it acts as a fiduciary. All digital assets are carefully segregated and held in trust for our clients. The assets are secured through dedicated on-chain addresses backed by Coinbase’s proven cold storage solutions. Our insurance policy stands as one of the best in the industry, ensuring robust protection. Additionally, we are subject to frequent financial and security evaluations conducted by independent firms. Many funds that function as fiduciaries for their investors often face challenges in earning rewards through Delegated Proof of Stake (staking) due to inherent risks. By being the first custodian to facilitate staking from securely stored assets, Coinbase Custody significantly alters this dynamic. Just as it has made safe staking a reality for the first time, it now allows participation in governance activities, such as voting on protocol decisions, while keeping assets offline. At present, we support Maker Governance and are actively working to expand support for additional networks in the near future. This commitment to security and innovation positions Coinbase Custody at the forefront of digital asset management.
Description
Blocknox GmbH, a subsidiary of Boerse Stuttgart Group, is responsible for the custody of cryptocurrencies on an escrow basis. This service was launched in late January 2019 initially for BISON app users and was later expanded in late September 2019 to accommodate users of the Boerse Stuttgart Digital Exchange (BSDEX). Blocknox has designed and implemented a robust multilevel security framework for the safe custody of cryptocurrencies. In the future, blocknox aims to extend its custody services to institutional clients, including fintech companies, banks, and asset managers, allowing them to leverage blocknox’s trusted custody solutions as foundational elements for their own digital asset services. In light of the legal regulations concerning crypto custody that took effect in Germany on January 1, 2020, blocknox has proactively submitted an application for the necessary license to regulatory authorities. While awaiting the approval of this license, blocknox currently holds a provisional status as a regulated financial services provider, ensuring that it can continue to operate within the legal framework. This strategic approach positions blocknox as a key player in the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency custody solutions.
