Custody shapes how you operate

Your custody setup drives your regulatory posture, operating model, and what products you offer clients. We start from what your institution actually needs and build around it.

1

Assets in custody shouldn't sit idle

With a standalone custodian, anything you want to trade, stake, or settle has to move first. We keep custody connected to the services your business runs on, so assets stay put and stay usable.

2

No two mandates look alike

A broker-dealer that wants cold storage at a GSIB, a fintech that wants custody bundled with trading, and a platform that prefers to hold its own keys are not asking for the same thing. We've built for all three.

3

We run custody ourselves

Paxos operates custody directly under its own charter as a national trust bank. When a question comes up in diligence or in production, you're talking to the team that runs it.

Held in trust. Never lent.

Paxos holds assets as a federally chartered national trust bank, acting in a fiduciary capacity. Assets are legally segregated and bankruptcy-remote under federal banking law. A trust company holds assets in a fiduciary capacity, so what we custody is never lent or rehypothecated.

A decade of running fiduciary custody

While we've been a qualified custodian since 2015, the way we operate day-to-day is what makes the difference. It's the same discipline your own operations run on.c

Keys never leave the hardware

Keys are generated and held inside FIPS-grade HSMs, and plaintext keys never leave them. Tiered wallets available, with HSM-backed hot wallets for routine flows and cold wallets for long-term storage in air-gapped HSMs.

Every moment is policy-gated

A default-deny policy engine checks every movement against notional limits, destination allowlists, and client authorizations before signing. Maker-checker approvals run in independent environments, so no single operator or system acts alone.

Reconciled daily

Every day we reconcile on-chain wallets, internal ledgers and bank balances against each other, with real-time monitoring behind it. Controls are SOC-audited, regulator-ready and open to detailed diligence.
