1. Pearl Lemon Crypto

2. FalconX
A crypto prime brokerage unicorn valued at $8 billion, FalconX recently teamed up with Standard Chartered to streamline fiat flows for sovereign banks and hedge funds. They deliver tight spreads, deep liquidity, and FX support across Asia, Middle East, and U.S. Think of them as the Goldman Sachs of crypto—without the pithy “One percent” quips.
3. Komainu
This Nomura‑Ledger‑CoinShares joint venture positioned itself as a go‑to custodian for institutions, recently raising $75 million in bitcoin. With secure custody, multi‑jurisdictional coverage, and vault-like custody architecture, their co‑CEO likens them to safety deposit boxes on the blockchain—they're serious about security.
4. Anchorage Digital
America's first federally‑chartered crypto bank (OCC‑approved) isn't messing around—Anchorage custody handles DOJ-confiscated assets and NFT custody for Visa. With institutional trading, lending, staking, and gov't-level certification, they're basically the Fort Knox of crypto.
5. BitGo
Since 2013, BitGo has offered institutional custody with a multi-sig model, $250 million insurance, and SOC‑certified assurance. Handling $40 billion+ in assets, they've even served as custodian for Genesis clients. If Batman had a crypto wallet team, it'd be BitGo.
6. Fireblocks
Built for institutions requiring secure transfers, Fireblocks uses MPC tech that speeds trades 8× while slashing fee risks. Trusted by top exchanges and hedge funds, their Off‑Exchange settlement keeps assets off‑balance‑sheet until execution. It's secure enough to make hackers sigh.
7. Coinbase Institutional
Coinbase's institutional arm partners Prime (custody) with research, staking, and deep‑liquidity execution across multiple venues. Serving $400 billion in assets and 108 million users, it's the fortress of trust and regulatory track record—S&P 500 and all.
8. Paxos
A licensed trust company since 2012, Paxos tokenizes assets, runs regulated stablecoin services (like USDP), and handles custody with NYDFS oversight. Equities settlement? They've filed for it. If crypto had a government liaison, it'd be Paxos.
9. LMAX Digital
LMAX Group's institutional crypto arm offers lightning‑fast execution across global venues with matching engines in London, NY, and Tokyo. Their focus on regulatory clarity and tight infrastructure draws hedge funds and professional traders. For fast‑paced crypto markets, they're the superhero team with jet engines.
10. Copper
Copper blends MPC custody with prime brokerage features—like aggregated liquidity, OTC, and full trade settlement—all in one slick package. With compliance baked in and institutional-grade infrastructure, they're the Switzerland of crypto—but digital.
