Kraken Custody is now available to institutional clients in the UK and Australia

Custody is integral to the institutional crypto space; institutions need a secure and trusted provider to engage in the digital asset class. We’re proud to offer Kraken Custody* to clients outside the U.S., marking a key milestone since it launched in March this year.

Kraken Institutional has a strong presence in the UK and Australia. With this expansion, our crypto custody product now provides both existing and new clients in these countries with a robust solution focused on security and client service.

Providing institutions with better access to crypto

As the market seeks more custody alternatives, Kraken Custody provides institutions looking to invest in the digital asset class with a solution that marries cutting-edge security protocols and role-based access controls with seamless integration to the rest of the Kraken product suite. 

More than just secure storage

Institutions require a custody solution that enables them to store, manage and scale their strategies; Kraken Custody has been built with these needs in mind. We’re proud to offer Kraken Custody through Kraken Financial, a U.S.-based, state-chartered bank that holds clients’ digital assets separate from the Kraken exchange.

* Custody services provided by Kraken Financial, a Wyoming-chartered Special Purpose Depository Institution. Kraken Financial is not an FDIC-insured bank and deposits are neither insured by nor subject to the protections of the FDIC.
