<HONG KONG, May 15, 2019> Crypto.com, the pioneering payments and cryptocurrency platform, today announced a collaboration with Ledger, a global leader in security and infrastructure solutions for cryptocurrencies and blockchain applications, for its institutional-grade custody solution.

Ledger Vault is a multi-authorization cryptocurrency wallet management solution enabling financial institutions to build digital assets operations at speed and scale. By utilizing Ledger Vault, Crypto.com securely and efficiently manages its own funds as well as clients’ digital assets.

With Ledger Vault’s multi-authorization rules, the custodian has the ability to create, authorize and broadcast transactions to the chain within seconds without multi-signature participants having to be in the same room. This makes custodianship a process that is scalable in a fast-moving global market, while remaining secure against human error and common crypto threats.

Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com said: “We are thrilled to work with Ledger and their institutional grade digital asset custody solution - Ledger Vault. With 100% of Crypto.com client funds always held in cold storage, Ledger Vault allows us to operate the business at scale while maintaining the highest standards of security.”

Pascal Gauthier, CEO of Ledger, said, "By using Ledger Vault, Crypto.com will give their customers peace of mind that their assets are fully safe and secure. To support long term growth, the proper infrastructure must be in place. People are taking security and governance very seriously and we're pleased to support Crypto.com in their mission to provide this to their users."
