Custody Solutions For Emerging Ecosystems

Whether managing your treasury, or building a new token ecosystem, our proven and highly flexible custody solutions are designed to equip builders with the services they need from day one.

The Backbone: Bespoke Custody Architecture

Custody is a crucial component of your technology stack, and is one of the core technologies that investors and token holders interact with on a daily basis.
For over a decade, we have supported some of the most innovative protocols and foundations in the space to launch, distribute, and safeguard their tokens. We support you from genesis to global adoption, delivering pre- and post-TGE support and implementing complex holding requirements.
Our bespoke solutions are based on the foundation of our proven, proprietary custody architecture, Bitcoin Suisse Vault. It encompasses cryptographic and physical security measures and redundant backup to protect crypto assets against cyberattacks, unauthorized payments, hardware damage, and even electromagnetic pulse (EMP) interference. The source code has been audited by Zühlke, with penetration testing by Compass Security, while all relevant business processes have been ISAE 3402 Type 2 audited by PwC.

Speed, Convenience, And Reassurance: Our Crypto Account

The Bitcoin Suisse Crypto Account is ideally suited to clients who need convenient and secure access to their assets for the purposes of trading, treasury management or operational processes. Assets are accessible 24/7 online, with comprehensive API support for integration into your software, apps, or web-based interfaces.

Better convenience

Self-service access 24/7 via your online account and our app.

Over 95% of crypto assets are held on segregated blockchain addresses in the Bitcoin Suisse Vault and thereby bankruptcy remote. Any crypto assets temporarily held in pooled storage for operational reasons are fully covered one-to-one by a bank guarantee issued by a Swiss bank. Please note that for operational reasons, we leverage third-party custody technology for certain less common crypto assets, but they generally remain segregated. Ask your relationship manager whether any of the assets in your treasury will be affected.

Manage your treasury assets and view reports about your holdings in your own software or apps using our APIs for custody, trading, staking, reporting, and loans.

Support for over 40 protocols and hundreds of crypto assets, with staking for 10 major blockchains including ETH, SOL, XTZ, ADA, NEAR and DOT.

Participate in network governance votes for supported crypto assets such as CFG, DOT, and KSM.

Transparent fee based on crypto assets under management. We cover all blockchain network fees.

Exceptional client service from our committed and responsive relationship managers well beyond standard banking hours.
