Founded in 2018, Copper is a platform that seeks to offer institutional investors access and exposure to the digital assets market. The platform provided an MPC wallet and launched its off-exchange settlement solution, ClearLoop, in 2020.
ClearLoop allows users to manage digital asset collateral and settle trades across major crypto exchanges without moving assets off Copper’s wallet.

According to the London-based company, adding MINA staking allows for increased adoption of ZK technology.
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 “The addition of Copper’s custody solution gives professional and institutional entities more options to diversify their crypto participation with MINA. We hope that it will also raise awareness of institutional use cases for ZK technology, such as zk-KYC credentials that help address compliance without sacrificing user privacy,”
 Kurt Hemecker, chief executive officer of Mina Foundation

Copper co-founder and chief executive Dmitry Tokarev commented that crypto and blockchain are at a “pivotal moment for institutional adoption.”
Tokarev added that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s <a href="https://crypto.news/ethereum-etfs-get-final-approval-trading-to-start-tuesday/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">approval of Ethereum ETFs</a> in May and&nbsp;launch of trading in July&nbsp;has accelerated interest. As a result, the ecosystem is seeing increased demand for reliable tools through which institutional investors can gain exposure to cryptocurrencies.
