Zodia Custody, an FCA-registered institution-first digital asset custodian by Standard Chartered and Northern Trust, has joined Ripple-owned institutional-grade custody firm Metaco’s network. This marks a significant development amid recent changes in Metaco’s ownership and weighted demand for crypto storage and settlement networks amid regulatory concerns.

Zodia Custody has now joined Metaco’s global crypto storage network. The new custody solution gives institutions easy access to crypto storage and settlement, with complete security. 
Julian Sawyer, CEO of Zodia Custody, Metaco has seen global banks such as Societe Generale, BNP Paribas, and BBVA. This allows the firm to have them safeguard and manage crypto assets for institutions. 
Zodia Custody had an earlier collaboration with Metaco for institutional crypto custody solutions. Standard Chartered’s investment and ventures arm&nbsp;SC Ventures&nbsp;also had a stake in Metaco but it sold its stake in May this year. Ripple announced the <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-ripple-acquires-metaco-for-250m/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acquisition of Metaco</a> for $250 million in May itself. 
The integration with Metaco’s network offers global sub-custody, a service when an institution contracts another custodian to hold assets for it. 
“For example, a client in Brazil, who is a custodian, may want to store some assets in the UK, and they’re not currently in the UK. So they could use us as their sub-custodian and use our regulatory permissions, etc. I think the multiple networks that are out there are really key in terms of linking custodians together, and linking custodians to exchanges and venues in a compliant manner,” said Sawyer.
