Beyond Safekeeping: Why Custody Is Now the Foundation of Digital Finance

New BCG research shows why institutional digital asset custody now goes beyond safekeeping to governance, interoperability and integration.

  • Institutional digital asset custody is evolving beyond basic safekeeping to encompass governance, interoperability, and integration, driven by the growth of stablecoins and tokenized assets.
  • Custody is becoming a strategic operating layer for digital finance, enabling institutions to govern, move, and utilize assets across financial workflows.
  • The choice of custody model is crucial for institutions to unlock value creation and offer a wider range of digital finance services, with consolidation expected among providers offering vertical integration or aggregation.
