In a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing the security of digital assets, Exodus Movement has announced a partnership with Crypto.com Custody Trust Company. This collaboration is expected to provide a significant layer of institutional-grade safeguards for Exodus’ treasury while preserving the company’s commitment to self-custody, a fundamental aspect of its crypto wallet solutions.
Crypto.com Custody Trust Company, which operates as a regulated trust under New Hampshire law, will take on the role of digital asset custodian for Exodus. This partnership is poised to introduce additional security measures and regulatory oversight that will complement Exodus’ existing self-custody infrastructure. By diversifying its treasury management strategies, the partnership seeks to bolster Exodus’ resilience against market fluctuations and operational challenges.
Established in 2015, Exodus Movement specializes in multi-asset wallets and various embedded crypto solutions that prioritize user control over digital assets. Its product lineup includes tools like Passkeys Wallet and XO Swap, which are designed to streamline crypto transactions while adhering to a self-custody model.
Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We are pleased to support Exodus as their digital asset custodian of choice and in reinforcing its leadership in the self-custody space. By providing our best-in-class, regulated and secure custody solutions, we help Exodus strengthen its treasury management while continuing to innovate for millions of customers worldwide.”
The partnership comes amid Crypto.com’s expansion efforts in Europe, where the company recently acquired a MiFID license, adding to its existing MiCA license. This regulatory advancement positions Crypto.com as a prominent player in offering fully regulated financial products throughout the European Economic Area (EEA). The firm has been actively increasing its presence in European markets and aims to offer compliant digital asset services to a broader audience.
With the MiFID license in place, Crypto.com plans to introduce even more offerings for customers in the EEA, aiming to blend innovation with robust regulatory compliance. This strategic focus on regulatory oversight is expected to enhance user engagement on the platform, providing secure and accessible financial products in the evolving landscape of digital assets.
