The increasing frequency of cyberattacks is expected to drive the growth of the crypto custody provider market. Cybercrime refers to illegal activities that involve computers, networks, or digital systems to carry out offenses such as hacking, fraud, data theft, or online harassment. The rise in cybercrimes can be attributed to the growing reliance on digital platforms for work, banking, communication, and data storage, which offer more entry points and valuable targets for cybercriminals. Crypto custody providers play a critical role in protecting digital assets, ensuring regulatory compliance, and building investor trust, thereby enabling businesses to operate securely and scale in the rapidly evolving digital economy. For example, in October 2024, Check Point, an Israel-based software company, reported that the average number of cyberattacks per organization had reached 1,876 per week in Q3 2024, a 75% increase from the same period in 2023 and a 15% rise compared to the previous quarter. This surge in cyberattacks is fueling the growth of the crypto custody provider market.

Major companies operating in the crypto custody provider market are concentrating on developing integrated platforms, such as enterprise-grade custody and tokenization solutions, to enable secure and seamless management of both traditional and digital assets. Enterprise-grade custody and tokenization platforms combine secure cold and hot wallet custody with on-chain token issuance, compliance automation, and settlement functionalities, assisting institutional investors in managing tokenized versions of conventional assets alongside cryptocurrencies, while providing greater flexibility and programmability compared with legacy custodial systems that usually handle only bank-recorded securities. For example, in February 2025, Taurus SA, a Switzerland-based digital asset infrastructure firm, introduced Taurus Capital, a Solana-based custody and tokenization platform. This solution enables banks and financial institutions to custody and stake Solana-native tokens through its Taurus Protect custody system and issue programmable tokenized assets with high throughput and low-latency blockchain integration. The platform also offers automated financial workflows, smart contract-driven asset management, and compliance tools, connecting traditional asset servicing with decentralized finance capabilities to improve institutional access to both digital and tokenized asset markets.
