Crypto custodian backed by sequoia onc reveals first customers and partners

Following its successful service launch, Onchain Custodian (ONC), the digital asset custodian backed by Sequoia, Fosun, and DHVC, announced today the on-boarding of its first customers and the establishment of important partnerships.

Headquartered in Singapore, ONC has developed a personalized and comprehensive custody service for institutional players and accredited investors to secure digital assets with institutional grade security and controls. The SAFE Digital Asset Custody Platform is flexibly built to meet the possible futures of digital asset custody.

On top of the Ontology Foundation, which announced two weeks ago its use of the service, Tembusu Partners, Pre Angel, JLAB | JD Capital, Fission Capital, Frees Fund, Timestamp Capital, Milestone, among seven others, will start the onboarding process with Onchain Custodian in the coming weeks.

Mr. Pak Lum MOCK, Managing Partner, Tembusu Partners. “As a leading private equity firm with deep roots in Emerging Asia, Tembusu holds digital asset investments that we want to be safe and properly managed. We trust that Onchain Custodian, with its strong Asia Pacific footprint, will offer us the personalized service we are looking for.”

Mr. Jian SUN, Founder, JLAB | JD Capital: “Onchain Custodian’s founders and backers are a strong testimonial of the seriousness of the project. By safekeeping our digital assets with ONC, we are following the best practice that should prevail for any institutional investments; independent third-party custody.”

Ms. Sandy Peng, Partner, Fission Capital: “Digital asset investments are tricky to manage in view of the current diversity of blockchain and token protocols. Having the secure single window access to blockchains that Onchain Custodian offers will help us manage our investments”.

During its launch event earlier this month, Onchain Custodian also announced important partnerships with channel partners such as Infinito who will help promote ONC’s services, but also industry groups.

Alexandre Kech, CEO, ONC: “Best practices around digital asset custody are critical to the future of this industry. We are committed to working with customers but also associations like the Distributed Regtech Collaboration Platform, the Malaysia Blockchain Association or the Digital Exchange Association to build the global standard for digital asset custody.”

Additional partnerships include Accuity, the notable compliance platform provider that ONC will use for KYC and AML/CFT compliance, and Polymath, a global Securities Token platform which will refer Onchain Custodian as one of its custodian service providers.

Thomas Borrel, Polymath: “Reputable custodians are a critical component in the security token issuance journey, especially as institutions look for new and innovative way to generate growth. We are thrilled to partner with Onchain Custodian to provide our Asia-based Issuers with a secure and dependable custody solution.”

The Future Of Hong Kong

bitcoin and blockchain technology are getting a lot of attention from different sectors worldwide. From finance to legal matters and even cyber security, Blockchain technology is revolutionizing a lot of different industries. Hong Kong seems to be another country that has caught the “cryptocurrency fever.” Two of the most dominant industries in Hong Kong are finance and shipping. In the last couple of years, both industries have tried to increase their growth. With blockchain technology, many experts in Hong Kong believe that it will help the domestic industry to rapidly grow and scale. It’s worth to note that not only the private sector in Hong Kong is seeing a bright future for blockchain technology. The Hong Kong government is also heavily investing in blockchain technology that benefits different government entities. According to a Bloomberg article, the monetary authority of Hong Kong is developing its very own cryptocurrency and using blockchain technology as a solution for mortgage applications, e-check tracking, and financial trading.

 

Blockchain Company Boom In Hong Kong

With the recent boom of Initial Coin Offerings, a lot of blockchain-related companies and startups have been established in the city of Hong Kong. Some of these companies include the cryptocurrency exchanges Gatecoin and BitMex. OpenANX has been Hong Kong’s most prominent Initial Coin Offering yet. A whopping $14 million was raised in the first day of the ICO as enthusiastic investors bought OAX tokens at a rate of $750,000 every ten minutes. Regulators in Hong Kong are carefully observing ICOs in order to better understand the current cryptocurrency market. In an interview with Bloomberg, Paul Chan, Hong Kong’s financial secretary, said the following regarding the current situation of ICOs in Hong Kong:

We have to be very careful with this because on the one hand, we encourage innovation and free markets, but on the other hand, we do have to look after our small investors.

Apparently, financial regulators in Hong Kong are taking a softer approach on ICOs than their Chinese counterparts, who recently suspended all Initial Coin Offerings in China.
