Welcoming Grayscale, the world’s largest crypto fund to Coinbase Custody
Today we’re proud to announce that Grayscale, the world’s largest digital asset fund manager, has chosen Coinbase Custody to store its crypto assets. Coinbase Custody will serve as custodian for all of Grayscale’s digital assets, currently including Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Litecoin (LTC), Stellar Lumens (XLM), XRP and Zcash (ZEC). Coinbase Custody is also exploring support for Horizen (ZEN). Pending regulatory approval.
Grayscale’s decision to trust its assets to Coinbase Custody concludes a lengthy deliberation process. Grayscale’s team diligenced more than 30 custodians globally, evaluating each on factors such as security, regulatory compliance, insurance coverage and the overall ability of its custody partner to scale with their business. We’re honored to have been selected based on such a comprehensive evaluation process.
