by Fintech News Singapore October 24, 2023Cactus Custody, Matrixport’s digital asset custodian service provider, has upgraded its US$ 50 million insurance coverage to include crime protection for warm wallets. The insurance is issued by Hong Kong’s digital insurer OneDegree.

The added protection meaningfully differentiates our offering, particularly for institutions with compulsory insurance requirements, and reflects our ongoing commitment towards industry best practices.”
