Overview

Most institutions entering digital assets face a version of the same problem: finding a custodian that meets their compliance and governance bar without requiring them to build infrastructure from scratch. Zodia Custody was built specifically for that gap, backed by Standard Chartered, Northern Trust, SBI Holdings, National Australia Bank, and Emirates NBD. That ownership structure is not incidental. It shapes the governance model, the regulatory posture, and the operational standards Zodia applies across all seven of its offices.

For family offices in Singapore and Hong Kong specifically, Zodia has published a dedicated playbook on digital asset custody selection and published case studies of institutional implementations in those markets. The firm holds a TCSP license in Hong Kong and is registered with the FCA in the UK, the CSSF in Luxembourg, and regulated by the ADGM FSRA in the UAE. Coverage across more than 15 jurisdictions makes it a viable choice for family offices with multi-jurisdictional footprints. Key operational features include:

  • 24/7 cold storage custody with zero central points of compromise and SOC 1 and ISO 27001 certification
  • Custody of 75+ crypto assets covering over 80% of the crypto asset market cap
  • Interchange product enabling off-venue trading and settlement without moving assets off custody
  • Zodia Switch for custody-native asset swaps executed via LMAX Group liquidity
  • Staking directly from custody wallets, currently available for BNB and other assets
  • White-label custody infrastructure available to institutions wanting to offer services to their own clients

Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated via a fee letter that accounts for asset volume, transaction frequency, and ancillary services. Family offices seeking a single consolidated custodian for traditional and digital assets will find Zodia covers only the digital side, meaning a separate arrangement remains necessary for conventional holdings.

"We provide tailored digital asset custody solutions for institutional clients, empowering them to navigate the complexities of the digital asset future with confidence."
