NOW Custody is an institutional cryptocurrency custody platform that provides businesses with a single API to receive, store, convert, and manage digital assets across more than 800 supported cryptocurrencies. The platform is built around cold storage for 100% of user funds, with security practices aligned to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 standards, hosted on AWS infrastructure. It targets neobanks, exchanges, payment platforms, gaming companies, lending platforms, and investment brokerages seeking to integrate crypto operations without building custody infrastructure in-house. Part of the broader NOW Ecosystem alongside ChangeNOW, the service has been operational since 2017 and positions itself as a B2B infrastructure layer for crypto-enabled financial products.

Zodia Custody is an institutional digital asset custodian offering secure storage, staking, and trading infrastructure for professional clients including asset managers, hedge funds, banks, governments, and crypto-native firms. Its core custody product is complemented by staking services (including Pectra staking), an interchange trading layer, and a Gateway API for programmatic integration. The platform operates across multiple regulated jurisdictions — UK, EU, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, and UAE — reflecting a deliberate multi-regulatory footprint. Backed by a $36M funding round announced in April 2023, Zodia Custody was originally established as a joint venture between Standard Chartered and Northern Trust, positioning it as a bank-grade custodian for institutional digital assets.
