Crypto Custody Provider Market Report 2025

The crypto custody provider market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.25 billion in 2024 to $2.1 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 67.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to regulatory uncertainty, institutional reluctance, lack of secure infrastructure, early adoption by crypto exchanges, and limited insurance coverage.

The crypto custody provider market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.42 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 67.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing institutional adoption, enhanced regulatory frameworks, rising cyber threats, expansion of decentralized finance (defi), and increasing demand for insured custody solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include blockchain security advancements, integration of ai in risk management, development of multi-party computation (mpc) solutions, increasing tokenization of assets, and investment in custody technology.

The forecast of 67.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through increased security costs, as hardware security modules and multi-signature wallet solutions, predominantly manufactured in Germany and Israel, face supply chain disruptions and tariff-related price hikes. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

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.

To address the growing demand for secure asset management, major companies in the crypto custody provider market are focusing on integrating traditional and digital assets through unified custody platforms. These platforms offer institutional clients secure, compliant solutions to manage both types of assets within a single, integrated infrastructure. Unified custody platforms are designed to enable financial institutions to securely store, manage, and access both traditional and digital assets through one streamlined system. For instance, in October 2022, Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a US-based financial services company, launched its Digital Asset Custody platform in the U.S., allowing select institutional clients to securely hold and transfer Bitcoin and Ethereum. This initiative marks a significant step in bridging the gap between traditional and digital asset custody, reflecting the growing institutional demand for secure, compliant crypto storage solutions.

In May 2023, Ripple Labs Inc., a US-based software company, expanded its crypto custody services by acquiring Metaco SA for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Ripple aims to strengthen its position in the institutional digital asset space by integrating Metaco’s advanced crypto custody solutions, which offer secure, compliant, and scalable storage and management of digital assets. Metaco SA, based in Switzerland, is an institutional-grade crypto custody provider known for delivering secure and compliant digital asset storage solutions to financial institutions.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the financial sector, particularly in the areas of investment strategies and risk management. The increased tariffs have intensified market volatility, leading institutional investors to adopt more cautious approaches and driving greater demand for hedging solutions. Banks and asset managers are encountering higher costs in cross-border transactions as disrupted global supply chains and declining corporate earnings weigh on equity market performance. At the same time, insurance providers are facing elevated claims risks linked to supply chain interruptions and trade-related business losses. Furthermore, reduced consumer spending and weaker export demand are limiting credit growth and dampening investment appetite. In response to these challenges, the sector must focus on diversification, accelerate digital transformation, and strengthen scenario planning to manage the heightened economic uncertainty and safeguard profitability.
