Introduction to
Coinbase Custody
Investing in cryptocurrencies is a big step for any institution, crypto-first or
traditional. It raises unique operational, marketing, and security challenges:
the technology is new, the regulations aren’t explicit, and the risk is
perceived as higher than that of traditional securities investing. While the
crypto market has evolved over more than a decade and now offers dozens
of assets attractive to professional-grade investors, custody also remains a
first-order barrier to institutional investment.
