Crypto.com Launches Secure Institutional Custody Solutions for XYO Tokens in Partnership with XYO Network
San Diego, United States, July 27th, 2026, Chainwire
Crypto.com Custody expands institutional access to the XYO ecosystem, providing enterprises and investors with secure infrastructure to participate in the next generation of verifiable real-world data networks.
Crypto.com announced today Crypto.com Custody will provide secure, institutional-grade custody and liquidity solutions for the XYO ecosystem. Enabling custody services to eligible institutions and high-net-worth clients through a comprehensive end-to-end solution built around security, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency.
The expansion comes as Crypto.com continues strengthening its institutional offering. In February 2026, Crypto.com received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to charter Crypto.com National Trust Bank, joining BitGo, Circle, Ripple and Paxos among crypto firms approved to operate federally regulated trust institutions. Its existing custody arm, Crypto.com Custody Trust Company, remains a qualified custodian regulated by the New Hampshire Banking Department.
In July, Citadel Securities invested $400 million at a $20 billion valuation in the company’s first institutional funding round since 2016, supporting expansion into tokenized securities and derivatives.
Assets are held in client-segregated MPC wallets belonging to a bankruptcy-remote entity, with private keys protected by multi-party computation executing inside trusted execution environments. Institutions can trade through Crypto.com’s institutional products while assets remain securely custodied, eliminating the operational need to move funds onto an exchange before execution.
“Digital asset organizations require a custodial solution that delivers both unmatched security and seamless liquidity. We are pleased to support XYO by ensuring their ecosystem is safeguarded with institutional-grade custody and ready for global scale.” said Eric Anziani, President and Chief Operating Officer of Crypto.com.
Founded in 2016, XYO operates one of the world’s largest consumer DePIN networks with more than 10 million nodes producing verifiable, real-world data for AI, robotics, logistics and physical infrastructure. XYO secures and incentivises data validation across the network, while XL1 powers transactions, gas fees and blockchain infrastructure. Crypto.com Custody provides institutions with a regulated pathway to hold both assets as adoption of verifiable real-world data accelerates.
“We’ve had a great relationship with Crypto.com since listing XYO on their exchange, and expanding into custody for XL1 and XYO together is a natural next step. As we build out infrastructure for AI, robotics, and decentralized machine intelligence, having our digital assets XYO and XL1 backed by enterprise-grade security is essential. Working with one of the most trusted names in the industry positions XYO alongside the institutional players shaping what comes next, and gives builders and enterprises confidence in the foundation they’re building on.” said Markus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO.
