Learn how leading financial institutions deploy compliant, secure digital asset infrastructure in weeks using modular platforms that reduce cost and risk.

Digital assets are now core to payments, markets, and treasury. Stablecoins set new records in 2025, and tokenized Treasuries passed seven billion dollars in value. Enterprise custody is security plus governance plus compliance. You need all three to scale.

TEEs give you hardware‑level isolation for keys, policies, and transaction logic. In a year when crypto theft hit $2.2 billion and state‑sponsored actors set new records, moving critical workflows into attested enclaves is no longer optional.

Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC) – a cryptographic breakthrough that's fundamentally transforming how institutions protect, manage, and scale their digital asset operations.

As financial services embrace digital transformation, identity management has become the cornerstone of secure, compliant, and user-friendly financial experiences.

Custodial Wallet: Your crypto keys are held by a third party (e.g., Coinbase, Kraken). Convenient, easy to recover, but you don’t fully control your funds. Non-custodial Wallet: You control your private keys (e.g., MetaMask, Ledger). Full ownership, access to DeFi, but responsibility for your own security. Hybrid Approach: Many users combine both for flexibility, trading on exchanges, holding assets securely offline.

The regulatory landscape for digital assets is expected to evolve with new laws and guidelines shaping custody solutions. Banks must prepare for these changes by adopting flexible compliance strategies and staying informed about potential regulatory shifts. Global regulatory bodies are likely to have a stronger influence, promoting standardization across jurisdictions. This trend may lead to the development of a unified regulatory framework for digital assets, simplifying compliance and enhancing security in digital finance.

The recent ByBit hack is a stark reminder of the critical importance of security in crypto. As crypto adoption grows and digital assets become more widely used, custodians face increasing pressure from hackers. With vast assets at stake, neither insurance nor certifications alone provide real protection. The only real defense is designing solutions with uncompromising security at their core. At Scalable Solutions, we leverage a decade of industry expertise to build security-first architectures, proactively shielding our clients from evolving threats.

With security breaches on the rise and trust in centralized exchanges declining, now is the perfect time to launch a self-custody crypto wallet. As users shift towards greater control over their funds, our updated white-label solution offers privacy, security, and seamless functionality.

Choosing the right wallet model—custodial, non-custodial, or embedded—affects security, compliance, and user control. Custodial wallets offer regulatory oversight but introduce centralization risks. Non-custodial wallets ensure user autonomy but require strong security practices. Embedded wallets balance convenience with varying levels of custody. Each model must align with regulatory frameworks like MiCA, SEC, and FATF.

Digital wallets are now a core part of banking, but they bring serious security risks. Cybercriminals exploit credential stuffing, malware, and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks to steal sensitive financial data. Banks must comply with regulations such as PSD2, GDPR, and MiCA while strengthening security.

The Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation is set to reshape the European crypto industry. Designed for crypto-asset service providers, stablecoin issuers, investors, and financial institutions, MiCA creates a unified regulatory framework. Whether you’re an established company or a startup eyeing the European market, these new rules will redefine operations across the EU.

The EU Travel Rule mandates CASPs to share sender and recipient data for crypto transactions, enhancing transparency and AML compliance. Applicable to both EU and non-EU CASPs, it takes full effect by July 2025. CASPs must implement secure data transfers, identity verification, and risk management to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.

The repeal of SAB-121 removes regulatory barriers for banks, allowing them to expand crypto custody services without balance sheet constraints. This shift increases competition, accelerates blockchain adoption, and enhances risk management. However, new regulations may emerge from the Fed, Congress, or other regulators to fill the gap.

Custody is a fundamental requirement for institutions looking to engage in crypto trading, asset management, and decentralized finance (DeFi), but the path to secure and compliant custody is not straightforward. One of the biggest decisions financial firms face is whether to build their own crypto custody infrastructure or buy from established third-party providers. Let's take a closer look: here are some pros and cons of both approaches. But first, let's answer a simple question.

With over 420 million crypto users worldwide and a rapidly growing market, launching a crypto exchange has never been more appealing.
