Best Crypto Custodians for Base App

Coinbase Custody functions as a distinct and independently funded entity separate from Coinbase, Inc. Under New York State Banking Law, it acts as a fiduciary. All digital assets are carefully segregated and held in trust for our clients. The assets are secured through dedicated on-chain addresses backed by Coinbase’s proven cold storage solutions. Our insurance policy stands as one of the best in the industry, ensuring robust protection. Additionally, we are subject to frequent financial and security evaluations conducted by independent firms. Many funds that function as fiduciaries for their investors often face challenges in earning rewards through Delegated Proof of Stake (staking) due to inherent risks. By being the first custodian to facilitate staking from securely stored assets, Coinbase Custody significantly alters this dynamic. Just as it has made safe staking a reality for the first time, it now allows participation in governance activities, such as voting on protocol decisions, while keeping assets offline. At present, we support Maker Governance and are actively working to expand support for additional networks in the near future. This commitment to security and innovation positions Coinbase Custody at the forefront of digital asset management.
