In the United States, regulatory developments in 2025 established clearer pathways for institutional participation. The SEC approved proposed rule changes by three national securities exchanges to adopt generic listing standards for exchange-traded products holding spot commodities, including digital assets.

Ready to launch compliant digital asset services in weeks, not years? The digital assets landscape is experiencing unprecedented transformation as we approach 2026.

Institutional digital asset infrastructure has shifted from passive storage to active operations. Early market phases prioritized the secure generation and isolation of private keys ("cold storage"). The current market phase demands high-velocity operability: DeFi interaction, 24/7 global trading, and automated treasury management.

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

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.

Multi-Party Computation (MPC) vs. Hardware Security Modules (HSM): A Deep Dive into Secure Key Management for Institutional Digital Asset Custody

Stablecoins Are No Longer the Fringe. They're Becoming the Core.

Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) - a cloud-based model allowing seamless integration of digital wallet functionalities via APIs. WaaS reduces complexity, accelerates deployment, and enhances scalability. Companies avoid extensive engineering efforts by leveraging WaaS providers to manage technical aspects.

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.

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.

Institutional adoption of digital assets is accelerating, with major financial players like Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, and BlackRock embracing crypto. Driven by demand for alternative investments, regulatory clarity, and blockchain’s advantages, institutions are shaping the future of the crypto market.
