Copper is transforming how institutional investors engage with digital assets, providing market-leading infrastructure in addition to custody, trading, and prime brokerage solutions.

Our award-winning custody application leverages the genius of multi-party computation (MPC) and can be configured to support cold, warm, and hot wallet solutions.

Asset managers are further protected by our pioneering Clear Loop network, which enables off-exchange trading and settlement at tier-1 digital asset exchanges. An offering enhanced by the availability of uncollateralised lending.

Copper's secure wallet architecture is available as a standalone application, a mobile app, and a browser extension for smart contract signing. With an easy-to-navigate interface, market-making liquidity, and a team always ready to assist you, Copper will change the way you look at crypto
