Why Custodians
Choose BridgePort
In today’s evolving crypto landscape, custodians face unique challenges and opportunities. With assets often prefunded on exchanges, custodians lose control over valuable Assets Under Custody (AUC), limiting revenue potential and creating inefficiencies. BridgePort offers a solution that not only helps custodians maintain AUC but also opens the door to new services and growth opportunities.
Maintaining and Growing
Assets Under Custody (AUC)
With BridgePort’s middleware, custodians will retain control over client assets without the need for them to be prefunded on exchanges. This allows custodians to grow their AUC while minimizing the risks associated with moving assets across fragmented platforms. By keeping assets securely with custodians and enabling real-time asset allocation and deallocation, BridgePort ensures that custodians retain their central role in managing institutional assets.
Key Benefit: Increase AUC, driving higher revenue through custody fees while reducing the operational friction and risk of asset outflows.
EXPANDING SERVICES
Acting as a Settlement Agent
BridgePort enables custodians to enhance their service offering by acting as a settlement agent for off-exchange transactions. In this role, custodians can facilitate real-time, secure settlements between trading firms, exchanges, and liquidity providers, further embedding their position in the ecosystem. Acting as a settlement agent not only creates a new revenue stream but also reinforces the custodian’s role as a trusted intermediary.
Seamless Integration Across Platforms
One of the greatest challenges custodians face is integrating with multiple exchanges, each requiring bespoke connections and risking operational inefficiency. BridgePort eliminates the need to “pick a winner” by offering seamless integration across all platforms. Our agnostic middleware solution creates a plug and play solution giving access to a vast network of exchanges and OTC venues—without the need for costly, bespoke integrations. This ensures custodians can meet the needs of all clients, regardless of where they trade.
Supporting the Long-Term Health of the Ecosystem
While the immediate benefits of retaining AUC and expanding services are clear, the true long-term value for custodians lies in supporting a thriving, scalable ecosystem. As the market grows, with more institutional participants and increasing regulatory oversight, custodians who align with future-focused solutions like BridgePort will be better positioned to capture growth opportunities. By facilitating seamless integration across stakeholders, BridgePort is helping to create a more connected, efficient market—one in which custodians will play a central role.
Scalability for the Future
As the market for institutional crypto trading grows, custodians need to be able to adapt to new asset classes, larger volumes, and evolving regulatory frameworks. BridgePort’s scalable infrastructure ensures that custodians can meet these demands without the need for disruptive overhauls, allowing them to remain agile and competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
