As institutional absorption in cryptocurrency markets rises, old security-as-a-service solutions are authoritative way for a advocate alteration account developed by Fireblocks.
From Startup to Preferred Security Provider in Six Months
In beneath six months, Fireblocks has gone from Swisscom Ventures-backed startup to the adopted belvedere for automated agenda asset transfers. Galaxy Digital, Celsius, Genesis and added ample institutional players are now application the company’s ‘Secure Transfer Environment’ to move an estimated $2.5 billion in agenda assets anniversary month.
The companies use Fireblocks to abundance and alteration agenda assets beyond their ecosystems. They accept replaced bequest aegis structures involving attention keys via algid accumulator or accouterments wallets to Fireblocks’ different anatomy that deploys patent-pending dent abreast aegis and MPC technology.
