We are a Wyoming state-chartered bank that operates under the first Special Purpose Depository Institution (SPDI) legal and regulatory framework in the United States.

This framework provides a regulatory-compliant platform that enables us to offer institutional investors a full suite of financial services for U.S. dollars and digital assets with enhanced regulatory clarity to minimize transactional risk.

As a SPDI, we are a fully-reserved bank authorized to 

We are uniquely positioned to provide institutional investors with

REGULATORY CLARITY

We operate under Wyoming laws, the first and only legal framework in the U.S. that clearly defines digital asset custody standards based on SEC and CFTC principles to ensure perfection and control of security interests in digital assets.

  Legal title to a digital asset remains with the customer, not their custodian.

  Assets are legally segregated from the other assets of the institution.

  Legally segregated assets are protected by Wyoming statute in bankruptcy proceedings.

PROTECTION

As fully reserved banks, our clients can rest assured that their assets are protected because SPDIs are prohibited from making loans with customer deposits in fiat currency.

  Our customer deposits of fiat currency must AT ALL TIMES be backed 100% or more by unencumbered liquid assets, including U.S. currency and level 1 high-quality liquid assets.

  Given this, we are not required to obtain Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance and are not FDIC Insured.

COMPLIANCE

Our adherence to strict regulation is tested and overseen by banking regulators and independent auditors with expertise in digital asset compliance and security.

→  This comprehensive regulatory framework ensures compliance with banking laws, including KYC and AML/BSA, and the robust digital asset custody framework under Wyoming's digital asset laws.

→  Our robust controls, derived from our wealth of banking and bank regulatory experience and proven ability to identify and mitigate risk, will safeguard your assets and ensure proper governance, oversight, compliance, and reporting.

INTEGRATION

We seamlessly integrate fiat and digital asset banking, transactions, and Qualified Custody with our bank-grade, multi-asset platform, broadly accepting digital assets, cryptocurrencies, and fiat currencies….

 This unified approach offers increased protection for clients by shrinking the number of counterparty and intermediary risks, while also removing the potential of losing cryptocurrencies due to a host of pitfalls that can occur with self-custody.

  We can integrate with client-native systems enabling detailed real-time transaction, balance, and tax data to support proper fiduciary reporting, auditing, and attestation.
