Hedge funds, VC firms, and corporate treasuries entering digital assets face a custody market built primarily for retail. Most institutional custodians commingle assets, operate under single-jurisdiction frameworks, or provide reporting inadequate for board-level oversight.
CryptoVault provides fully segregated institutional custody with compliance-ready reporting, dedicated relationship management, and the flexibility to accommodate complex fund structures and regulatory environments across multiple jurisdictions.
Every client holds fully segregated assets with independent verification. No pooling, no counterparty exposure to other clients.
Audit-ready reporting packages designed for fund administrators, compliance officers, and external auditors.
A named senior relationship manager with direct access — not a support ticket queue.
Custody structures accommodating fund domicile requirements across Cayman, BVI, Luxembourg, Singapore, and Australia.
For institutions requiring a recognisable sub-custodian model compatible with existing prime brokerage arrangements.
Quarterly and ad-hoc board reporting packages covering risk, security posture, and asset verification.
Investment vehicles requiring segregated custody, NAV-compatible reporting, and compliance frameworks for digital asset allocations.
Listed and private companies diversifying treasury reserves into Bitcoin or other digital assets with board-approved governance.
Banks, wealth managers, and licensed entities requiring custody infrastructure that integrates with existing compliance frameworks.
Segregated custody means your assets are held entirely separately from the custodian's own holdings and from the assets of other clients. Each client's assets are identifiable, auditable, and recoverable independently of any financial difficulty the custodian may face. In an insolvency proceeding, segregated client assets are not part of the general estate. Commingled custody — where client assets are pooled — creates counterparty exposure that is inappropriate for institutional holdings and contributed directly to investor losses in the Celsius and BlockFi failures.
Institutional clients receive regular statements showing holdings by asset, wallet address, and valuation in their nominated reporting currency. Transaction reports, reconciliation data, and performance attribution are provided in formats compatible with major portfolio management and accounting systems. ATO-compliant cost base and gain/loss reporting is available for Australian clients. Bespoke reporting can be configured for clients with specific governance or regulatory requirements.
CryptoVault's custody documentation is designed to support AFSL compliance from the outset — including asset safeguarding records, disclosure support, and audit trail maintenance. We work directly with clients' legal and compliance teams to ensure custody arrangements satisfy both AFSL obligations and any additional regulatory requirements specific to the client's licence category.
Traditional financial custody involves a custodian holding a legal claim on your behalf, with settlement occurring through a central securities depository. Digital asset custody involves the management of cryptographic keys that control direct access to on-chain assets — there is no central authority and no settlement intermediary. This eliminates counterparty settlement risk but creates cryptographic key management requirements that are entirely different from traditional custody operations.
