The new Coinbase Custody service will implement a range of security measures for safe and secure storage of digital assets.
On Monday, July 2, Coinbase announced through its official blog post that it has made its ‘Coinbase Custody’ service open for all institutional players and businesses.
The service is aimed at institutional hedge funds and other big institutional investors who are willing to invest n the crypto space in huge sums.
While explaining the Coinbase Custody service, the exchange writes:
“Coinbase Custody is a combination of Coinbase’s battle-tested cold storage for crypto assets, an institutional-grade broker-dealer and its reporting services, and a comprehensive client coverage program.”
In order to implement the new digital assets custodian service, Coinbase will ‘leverage the expertise and systems’ of its partner Electronic Transaction Clearing (ETC) which is an SEC-registered broker-dealer for Coinbase Custody for now.
Coinbase Custody is the first service to go live, of the four institutional products launched by the exchange two months back in May 2018.
