what's copper.co?
Copper.co is an institutional digital asset technology platform that provides secure custody, trading, and settlement solutions for cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets. Founded to bridge traditional finance with blockchain technology, it offers a comprehensive suite of services including multi-asset wallets, clearing and settlement via its Copper Clear platform, and connectivity to over 100 exchanges and DeFi protocols. The platform emphasizes regulatory compliance, with operations licensed in multiple jurisdictions, and uses advanced security measures like multi-party computation (MPC) for key management to protect client assets. At its core, Copper.co enables institutions to manage digital assets efficiently through features like instant settlement to reduce counterparty risk and seamless integration with blockchains such as Ethereum, Solana, and Hedera. It supports a wide range of tokens, from major ones like BTC and ETH to emerging assets via tokenization services, allowing clients to custody, trade, and stake without leaving the platform. Partnerships with networks like Radix, Algorand, and Flare highlight its role in facilitating secure token distributions and DeFi access. Copper.co's infrastructure is designed for scalability and transparency, incorporating zero-knowledge proofs and third-party audits to verify holdings. It serves hedge funds, banks, and family offices by providing tools for portfolio management, lending, and yield generation while maintaining institutional-grade standards for uptime and security.
Copper.co is a Canton Network Super Validator for institutional custody, also in early IPO talks.
