San Diego, United States, July 27, 2026 — Crypto.com announced that Crypto.com Custody will provide secure, institutional-grade custody and liquidity solutions for the XYO ecosystem, expanding institutional access to XYO’s verifiable real-world data network infrastructure.

The company said the service will be available to eligible institutions and high-net-worth clients through an end-to-end solution designed around security, regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. Crypto.com Custody said the offering is intended to give enterprises and investors secure infrastructure to participate in the next generation of verifiable real-world data networks.

The expansion follows Crypto.com’s continued buildout of its institutional business. In February 2026, Crypto.com received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to charter Crypto.com National Trust Bank, joining BitGo, Circle, Ripple and Paxos among crypto firms approved to operate federally regulated trust institutions. Crypto.com Custody Trust Company, the company’s existing custody arm, remains a qualified custodian regulated by the New Hampshire Banking Department.

Institutional custody has become a core requirement for banks, funds and enterprises that hold digital assets, particularly where internal controls, segregation of client assets and regulated service providers are part of compliance reviews. For networks such as XYO, the availability of custody and liquidity infrastructure can make participation more operationally practical for organizations that cannot rely on retail-style wallets or direct exchange custody.

In July, Citadel Securities invested $400 million in Crypto.com at a $20 billion valuation in the company’s first institutional funding round since 2016. The funding is supporting Crypto.com’s expansion into tokenized securities and derivatives.

According to the announcement, assets are held in client-segregated MPC wallets belonging to a bankruptcy-remote entity. Private keys are protected by multi-party computation that executes inside trusted execution environments. Institutions can trade through Crypto.com’s institutional products while their assets remain custodied, removing the operational need to move funds onto an exchange before execution.

“Digital asset organizations require a custodial solution that delivers both unmatched security and seamless liquidity. We are pleased to support XYO by ensuring their ecosystem is safeguarded with institutional-grade custody and ready for global scale.” said Eric Anziani, President and Chief Operating Officer of Crypto.com.

Founded in 2016, XYO operates one of the world’s largest consumer DePIN networks, with more than 10 million nodes producing verifiable real-world data for AI, robotics, logistics and physical infrastructure. XYO secures and incentivizes data validation across the network, while XL1 powers transactions, gas fees and blockchain infrastructure. Crypto.com Custody said it provides institutions with a regulated pathway to hold both assets as adoption of verifiable real-world data accelerates.

DePIN projects use distributed networks of participants and devices to support physical infrastructure or real-world data services, making verification and incentives central to their design. XYO’s focus on tamper-evident attestations places the custody announcement within a broader push to connect digital asset infrastructure with real-world data use cases.

“We’ve had a great relationship with Crypto.com since listing XYO on their exchange, and expanding into custody for XL1 and XYO together is a natural next step. As we build out infrastructure for AI, robotics, and decentralized machine intelligence, having our digital assets XYO and XL1 backed by enterprise-grade security is essential. 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.” said Markus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO.
