Copper’s ClearLoop network connects multiple exchanges in one secure trading loop, with real-time settlement across numerous networks.
The collapse of crypto exchange FTX has led to a greater focus on using regulated custodians and the custody revenue opportunity could grow to $8 billion by 2033, brokerage firm Bernstein said in a research report Tuesday.
“Institutional crypto investors are, above all, seeking out ways to better safeguard their assets and optimize their trading,” said Victor Wei, vice-president of institutional clients at BitMart, adding that “ClearLoop meets these demands and in so doing is contributing to the maturing of the ecosystem.”
London-based Copper inked a $500 million insurance deal with U.K. insurance giant Aon (AON) in November, arranging cover for half a billion dollars' worth of digital assets kept in cold storage, in one of the biggest such deals in the industry.
BitMart was the victim of a hacking incident in December 2021, leading to $196 million of cryptocurrencies being stolen. The exchange’s CEO said at the time that it would compensate affected users out of its own funds.
