This means users can trade on Bybit while their assets remain in Zodia's custody, thus reducing exposure to on-exchange risks and preventing co-mingling of funds.
The attack on Bybit in February saw nearly $1.5 billion worth of digital assets stolen and was the largest hack of a crypto exchange in dollar terms ever.
Such instances give a bloody nose to the prospects of increasing institutional adoption of digital assets, hence the requirement for custody services akin to what institutions would expect in the TradFi world.
Zodia Custody CEO Julian Sawyer referred to its product as "custody and settlement built for institutions, not retrofitted for crypto," in an emailed announcement on Thursday.
