Crypto.com has expanded its institutional services by adding custody and liquidity support for the XYO ecosystem. Through Crypto.com Custody, eligible institutions and high-net-worth clients can now securely hold XYO and XL1 while also gaining access to liquidity through a regulated platform.
The announcement brings another major development for Crypto.com as it continues to build services for professional investors. At the same time, it gives XYO stronger institutional support as demand for trusted blockchain infrastructure and real-world data continues to rise.
New Custody Services for the XYO Ecosystem
The latest expansion allows Crypto.com Custody to provide institutional-grade custody for both XYO and XL1. The service offers an end-to-end solution built around strong security, regulatory compliance, and smooth operations.
Large investors usually require much higher security standards than individual traders. They also need regulated custody providers that meet strict legal and operational requirements. Crypto.com aims to meet those expectations by offering a platform that keeps digital assets secure while making them easy to manage.
With XYO and XL1 now available through Crypto.com Custody, institutional investors have a trusted option to safely store these assets without compromising accessibility.
Crypto.com Continues Institutional Expansion
The announcement comes during a period of rapid growth for Crypto.com’s institutional business.
In February 2026, the company received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to charter Crypto.com National Trust Bank. This approval places Crypto.com among a select group of crypto firms that can operate federally regulated trust institutions.
The list includes major names such as BitGo, Circle, Ripple, and Paxos. Joining this group highlights Crypto.com’s efforts to build regulated financial infrastructure for digital assets.
Crypto.com also continues to operate Crypto.com Custody Trust Company as a qualified custodian regulated by the New Hampshire Banking Department. This existing regulatory status adds another layer of trust for institutional clients that depend on secure custody providers.
Strong Financial Support for Future Plans
Crypto.com also secured a significant investment earlier this year.
In July, Citadel Securities invested $400 million in the company’s first institutional funding round since 2016. The investment valued Crypto.com at $20 billion.
The company plans to use this capital to expand its presence in tokenized securities and derivatives. These markets continue to attract traditional financial firms that want blockchain-based products supported by trusted infrastructure.
The addition of XYO and XL1 to Crypto.com’s custody platform fits into this wider strategy of expanding institutional services across the digital asset industry.
Security Remains a Top Priority
Crypto.com Custody has built its platform with several advanced security features designed for institutional clients.
Customer assets stay inside client-segregated MPC wallets that belong to a bankruptcy-remote entity. This structure helps separate customer holdings from company assets, which adds an extra level of protection.
Private keys remain secure through multi-party computation technology. Instead of placing complete control in one location, the technology divides responsibility across multiple parties. These operations take place inside trusted execution environments that provide additional protection against unauthorized access.
This security model allows institutions to store digital assets with confidence while reducing operational risk.
Trading Without Moving Assets
One important feature of the custody platform is its direct connection to Crypto.com’s institutional trading products.
Institutions can execute trades while their assets remain inside custody. This removes the need to transfer funds onto an exchange before every transaction.
This approach saves time and reduces operational complexity. It also lowers the risk that may come with moving large amounts of digital assets between different wallets or trading platforms.
For professional investors, this combination of secure storage and direct liquidity offers a more efficient way to manage digital assets.
Crypto.com Sees Long-Term Value
Eric Anziani, President and Chief Operating Officer of Crypto.com, said digital asset organizations need custody services that combine excellent security with reliable liquidity.
He said Crypto.com is pleased to support XYO by providing institutional-grade custody that protects the ecosystem while preparing it for future global growth.
According to Anziani, strong custody solutions help organizations scale with greater confidence while giving institutions secure access to important blockchain assets.
XYO Builds One of the Largest DePIN Networks
Founded in 2016, XYO has grown into one of the world’s largest consumer DePIN networks.
The platform now includes more than 10 million nodes that produce verifiable real-world data. This information supports industries such as artificial intelligence, robotics, logistics, and physical infrastructure.
Reliable real-world data has become increasingly valuable as companies build smarter digital systems. XYO focuses on making this information verifiable through decentralized technology, which improves trust and transparency across multiple industries.
The network continues to attract attention as decentralized physical infrastructure becomes an important part of blockchain development.
The Purpose of XYO and XL1
The XYO ecosystem depends on two digital assets that perform different roles.
XYO secures the network and rewards participants that validate data across the decentralized system. This process helps maintain trust throughout the ecosystem.
XL1 powers blockchain operations by handling transactions, gas fees, and core network infrastructure.
With Crypto.com Custody now supporting both assets, institutions receive a regulated solution to hold XYO and XL1 while interest in verifiable real-world data continues to expand.
The availability of secure custody may encourage greater institutional participation as organizations look for reliable infrastructure before entering the digital asset market.
XYO Welcomes the Expanded Relationship
Markus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO, said the partnership with Crypto.com has continued to grow since XYO first became available on the Crypto.com exchange.
He described the addition of custody support for both XYO and XL1 as a natural next step in the relationship.
Levin also said enterprise-grade security plays an essential role as XYO develops infrastructure for artificial intelligence, robotics, and decentralized machine intelligence. He believes support from one of the industry’s most trusted companies places XYO among the institutional projects that will help shape the future of blockchain technology.
He added that the partnership gives builders and enterprise customers greater confidence in the foundation that supports their applications.
A Partnership Built for Institutional Growth
The latest agreement between Crypto.com Custody and XYO reflects the direction of the digital asset industry. Institutional investors now expect regulated custody, advanced security, and simple market access before they allocate significant capital.
Crypto.com continues to strengthen its institutional platform through regulatory approvals, major investment, and secure custody technology. At the same time, XYO continues to expand its decentralized network that delivers verifiable real-world data for emerging technologies.
With institutional custody now available for both XYO and XL1, professional investors have a secure and regulated pathway into the XYO ecosystem. The collaboration also strengthens the long-term foundation for blockchain adoption across artificial intelligence, robotics, logistics, and other industries that depend on trusted real-world data.
