Crypto.com has integrated XYO, a decentralized cryptographic proof network, as part of an expansion of its custody services for institutional users. According to Crypto.com’s official announcement, XYO is joining the platform as its first DePIN network for institutional clients.

DePIN, short for decentralized physical infrastructure networks, is a category of blockchain projects that use decentralized systems to support real-world infrastructure, data, or location-based services. For institutional users, custody access is a key operational requirement because it determines how assets can be stored, managed, and moved under compliance and risk controls.

The integration enables qualified high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors to access secure custody and management services for $XL1 and $XYO tokens through Crypto.com Custody.

Crypto.com Expands Institutional Custody Through XYO Integration

XYO’s addition to Crypto.com as the first DePIN network reflects the exchange’s broader effort to strengthen its institutional-scale digital asset offerings. Through Crypto.com Custody, high-net-worth individuals and institutions can manage and custody $XL1 and $XYO tokens in a secure environment.

The move also expands access to enterprise-scale liquidity and custody infrastructure for $XYO. The integration follows Crypto.com’s initial institutional funding since 2016.

Under the partnership, institutions, accredited investors, and family offices can use regulated custody options to hold $XL1 and $XYO. Users will also be able to swap assets while accessing Crypto.com’s institutional liquidity directly, without needing to move assets onto a trading exchange.

Crypto.com Custody Brings Institutional Security to $XL1 and $XYO

Crypto.com Custody safeguards digital assets using user-segregated multi-party computation wallets. The service also uses cold storage, streamlined compliance processes, and transparent audit trails.

The custody setup is designed to reduce operational risks while allowing institutions to execute trades efficiently without moving assets out of secure custody. As part of the partnership, $XL1 has secured its first key exchange listing after the token sale through its availability on Crypto.com. The move is expected to improve market accessibility while supporting dedicated institutional custody services.

Crypto.com Chief Operating Officer Eric Anziani said, “We are pleased to support XYO by ensuring their ecosystem is safeguarded with institutional-grade custody and ready for global scale.”

XYO Co-Founder Markus Levin said, “Working with one of the most trusted names in the industry positions XYO alongside the institutional players shaping what comes next, and gives builders and enterprises confidence in the foundation they’re building on.”
