We are pleased to announce that we have finalized a new custody agreement with Standard Chartered Bank.
Standard Chartered is one of the largest banks in the world, headquartered in London, with more than 150 years of history and over USD 900 billion in assets under custody. This agreement strengthens Quantia’s institutional backing and aligns us with the highest standards of the international financial system.

Under this agreement, the bank will act as custodian for our three main assets: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC. For the remaining tokens listed on Quantia, we will continue to use Fireblocks for our clients’ wallet infrastructure, a solution widely adopted by financial institutions and global exchanges.
This migration from Copper is the result of a strategic decision aimed at optimizing our operational architecture and supporting the ongoing evolution of the platform, while maintaining privacy and security as the core pillars of our clients’ operations.
As a result of these changes, all Quantia clients will receive new deposit addresses for all assets. The previous addresses will no longer be available starting January 1, 2026. Clients do not need to take any action.
This agreement represents a key step in strengthening the trust of our clients and investors, especially institutional ones. Working with a global banking custodian significantly reduces risk and provides greater transparency, security, and peace of mind.
At the same time, we continue to operate with our main liquidity provider (OKX) under the same off-exchange custodymodel we use today. This allows us to provide market access without introducing counterparty risk, as asset custody is maintained at all times.
