Fordefi’s technology stood out immediately during our testing phase. Their comprehensive solution empowers us to deliver a compliant, secure, and seamless custody experience to our clients, solidifying our position as a leading qualified custodian in Europe.

Fordefi is excited to announce Fortuna Custody, a leading European custodian of digital assets, as its newest customer. Headquartered in Ireland, Fortuna Custody operates as a VASP in Ireland and it is now pursuing a MiCA regulation in the country. Fortuna provides custody and treasury management-related activities, such as staking and DeFi, to institutional and corporate clients.

By leveraging Fordefi’s advanced MPC wallet infrastructure, Fortuna Custody is now able to securely support new chains, such as Sui and Aptos, and engage with DeFi opportunities, including Bitcoin staking, while remaining compliant with current regulations.

Fortuna Custody selected Fordefi as an additional technology partner to expand its custody and DeFi capabilities. Their team sought a technology partner capable of providing superior chain support, responsive customer service, and a solution built to scale with their client’s needs.

Key Features Driving Fortuna Custody’s Decision

  • Multi-Chain Access: Fordefi’s browser extension ensures secure connectivity to over 90 blockchains, supporting seamless integration with a variety of DeFi protocols.
  • Policy Engine: Transaction-specific policy controls enable Fortuna to implement rules aligned with operational workflows, enhancing both security and governance.
  • Risk Management: Features like smart contract simulation, enriched transaction data, and real-time risk alerts provide tools to confidently assess and execute transactions.

This collaboration also serves as a strategic opportunity for Fordefi. For institutions requiring custody to meet regulatory mandates, Fortuna Custody provides a trusted solution to meet these clients requirements.

We are excited to support Fortuna Custody as they integrate Fordefi’s solution into their operations and scale their offerings to meet the growing demand for compliant digital asset management across Europe.

As a licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) by the Central Bank of Ireland, Fortuna prioritizes compliance, security, innovation and trust, ensuring clients can manage their digital assets with confidence and integrity. Built to challenge the status quo, Fortuna aims to revolutionize the digital asset industry by providing compliant, secure, and connected custody solutions for the Web 3.0 era.
