What is the Custody Service?

As cryptocurrency adoption grows, businesses handling large digital asset portfolios face complex challenges that demand secure and efficient solutions. Managing substantial funds across multiple wallets while adhering to regulatory standards is no small feat. The risks, inefficiencies, and lack of specialized tools often leave businesses vulnerable.

Key Problems Businesses Face

Security Risks:
Conventional wallets are susceptible to hacking, fraud, and unauthorized access. A single breach can lead to devastating financial and reputational damage.

Limited Transaction Oversight:
Instant withdrawals from regular wallets lack safeguards like approval workflows, making them unsuitable for businesses handling millions of dollars.

Regulatory Pressure:
The compliance burden continues to grow as governments enforce stricter cryptocurrency regulations. Many businesses find it challenging to stay ahead of these requirements.

Complex Fund Management:
For enterprises managing multiple wallets and currencies, it’s difficult to track balances, transactions, and fees without automated tools.

Unclear Costs:
Unpredictable and non-transparent fee structures lead to inefficiencies and unexpected expenses for businesses.

The Need for a Solution

To address these challenges, businesses need a dedicated custody solution—one that not only provides unparalleled security but also simplifies fund management and ensures regulatory compliance. Recognizing this, we developed the Custody Service as a direct response to the needs of high-value clients.

Examples of How Businesses Can Benefit

Example 1: Long-Term Asset Storage for a Large Business

Scenario:

A company stores $10M in BTC in their Custody Wallet for 6 months, without withdrawals or balance changes.

Fee Calculation (Tier 1: $1M–$10M, 0.01% per month)

  • Monthly fee: $10,000,000 × 0.01% = $1,000
  • Total for 6 months: $1,000 × 6 = $6,000

Benefits:

  • Funds are secured with manual withdrawal verification.
  • Transparent fees ensure cost predictability.
  • Full compliance with global regulations protects the company from legal risks.

Example 2: High-Volume Replenishment and Withdrawal

Scenario:
A merchant deposits $1M, withdraws it after 15 days, and then replenishes the same amount 5 days later, keeping it in the Custody Wallet for 10 more days before the month ends.

Fee Calculation (Daily Percentage-Based Model):

  • Daily fee rate: 0.01% / 30 days = 0.000333% per day
  • First deposit duration: 15 days

$1,000,000 × 0.000333% × 15 = $50

  • No funds on balance for the next 5 days → no fees charged
  • Second deposit duration: 10 days

$1,000,000 × 0.000333% × 10 = $33.3

  • Total monthly fee: $50 + $33.3 = $83.3

Benefits:

  • Accurate daily recalculations ensure merchants only pay for the days funds are stored.
  • No extra charges during balance gaps, making withdrawals and replenishments flexible.
  • Optimized fee structure for fair and transparent cost management.

Example 3: Multi-Currency Fund Management

A merchant deposits $12M, withdraws $5M after 10 days, and keeps the remaining $7M in the Custody Wallet until the end of the month.

Fee Calculation (Tier 1 & Tier 2 Applied)

For the first 10 days: Balance $12M falls into Tier 2 (0.005% per month + $2,000 fixed fee).

  • Fixed fee for Tier 2: $2,000 (applies once per month).
  • Daily percentage fee: 0.005% / 30 = 0.000166% per day.
  • $12,000,000 × 0.000166% × 10 = $199.2.

After withdrawal, balance drops to $7M (Tier 1) for 20 days:

  • Daily fee: 0.01% / 30 = 0.000333% per day.
  • $7,000,000 × 0.000333% × 20 = $466.2.

Total monthly fee: $2,000 (fixed) + $199.2 + $466.2 = $2,665.4

Benefits:

  • Funds are aggregated for tier calculation, reducing costs.
  • Detailed monthly reports make tracking balances across currencies simple.
