Copper is a digital asset infrastructure company founded in 2018, specializing in institutional custody, prime services, and collateral management. The firm offers a comprehensive suite of products designed to reduce counterparty risk and enhance capital efficiency in digital asset markets. Central to Copper's offerings is its Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology, which provides secure custody solutions that can integrate with centralized exchanges, decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, and staking pools without assets leaving custody.
One of Copper's notable innovations is ClearLoop, an off-exchange settlement solution that enables clients to trade on centralized exchanges while keeping assets within Copper's secure custody. This approach mitigates counterparty risk and allows for near real-time settlement across multiple exchanges.
In addition to its core services, Copper has expanded its ecosystem through strategic partnerships. For instance, the company collaborated with Circle to facilitate USDC settlements, partnered with P2P.org to combine secure custody with staking infrastructure, and worked with Ondo Finance to offer clients options to earn rewards through OUSG and USDY tokens.
Furthermore, Copper has been selected as a collateral manager and custodian by Cantor Fitzgerald for its global Bitcoin financing business, underscoring Copper's role in bridging traditional finance with the digital asset space.
Through these initiatives, Copper continues to build the institutional standard for digital assets, providing secure and efficient solutions for a diverse range of clients in the crypto and web3 ecosystem.
