Digital assets are driving this prosperity, and there is ample opportunity for custody providers in the entire financial industry to leverage this emerging technology. As institutional adoption of digital assets accelerates, customers seek more than just safekeeping; they expect advanced banking-level infrastructure to balance robust regulatory compliance with seamless round-the-clock availability. Custodians of digital assets who meet these requirements can get a piece of this multi-billion dollar market by facilitating custody, governance, and trading use cases. By 2030, it is expected that over 10% of global assets will be tokenized, including RWAs such as financial instruments (stocks, bonds, ETFs) and even art pieces and carbon credits.

Digital asset custodians must also support all relevant L1 blockchains, higher throughput capabilities as well as access to transactional and liquidity venues. Moreover, with increasing transaction volumes, custodians must ensure their infrastructure can scale effectively without impacting efficiency or global regulatory compliance. Beyond these basic functions, custodians deploying institutional-grade solutions (which allow customizable control over operational and security models including flexible deployment or management of private keys) can offer innovative new use cases for their clients. These may include: issuing and custodying tokenized securities & RWAs or cryptocurrency wallets for both institutional investors & retail investors; robust compliance controls & advanced governance frameworks providing asset protection; becoming sub-custodian on a global network enhancing service distribution; seamless access to liquidity providers exchanges along with lending & collateral platforms.
