The growth of wealth management activities is anticipated to accelerate the expansion of the digital asset custody market in the coming years. Wealth management involves providing personalized financial services, including investment management, estate planning, and tax strategies, to help individuals protect and grow their wealth. The increase in wealth management activities is driven by a rising number of high-net-worth individuals seeking expert guidance to manage and grow their assets. Digital asset custody plays a pivotal role in wealth management by offering secure storage, compliance, and convenient access to digital assets, which enhances investor confidence, supports portfolio diversification, and enables the integration of digital assets into conventional financial services. For instance, in August 2024, the Investment Association, a UK-based trade body for investment managers, reported that the UK investment management industry saw a 3% increase in assets under management, growing from £8.8 trillion ($9.95 trillion) in 2022 to £9.1 trillion ($10.29 trillion). As a result, the rise in wealth management activities is fueling the growth of the digital asset custody market.

Key players in the digital asset custody market are focusing on forming strategic partnerships to enhance asset security and reduce the risks associated with private key exposure. Strategic partnerships are collaborative agreements between organizations aimed at combining strengths to achieve shared objectives. These alliances foster innovation, expand market reach, and facilitate mutual growth without requiring formal mergers. For example, in September 2023, Cobo, a Singapore-based digital asset custody technology provider, partnered with Antalpha, a Singapore-based platform offering digital asset technology services for institutional investors. This collaboration integrated Cobo's innovative B2B2C MPC Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution into Antalpha Prime. The integration aims to improve security and transparency for end investors by allowing them to participate directly in transaction signing. The solution employs threshold signature schemes (TSS) and advanced private key sharding, ensuring that transactions cannot be signed without the end user's key share, thereby enhancing asset security.
