2024 Year in Review: A Landmark Year for Institutional Custody

2025-01-20

The headlines of 2024 belonged to bitcoin's price action, but the real story unfolded behind the scenes. We watched as the world's largest financial institutions moved decisively from cautious observation to active implementation. At Ceffu, this transformation manifested in unprecedented ways, as we helped shape an infrastructure that's finally meeting institutional demands for security, efficiency, and regulatory clarity.

The numbers verified this thesis:

  • 210% growth in Assets Under Custody

  • 40% expansion of institutional clients

  • 15x increase in off-exchange settlements amount

Our infrastructure evolved to match institutional demand:

  • 13 new networks added, reaching 50 total

  • Exponential growth in tokens supported for our wallet services

  • Integration with leading CeDeFi protocols

  • Enhanced staking capabilities across major networks

  • Joining the Global Travel Rule Alliance

We're entering 2025 with clear momentum and purpose, propelled by growing institutional adoption of digital assets. Our roadmap is clear: expanding our regulatory presence across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, elevating our wallet infrastructure, and setting new standards in security and risk management. We look forward to rolling out more sophisticated trading capabilities, integrated staking solutions, and enhanced risk management tools - all designed to give institutions the confidence to participate more fully in digital assets. Together with our partners, we're shaping what's possible in this evolving ecosystem.
