About OSL Custody
OSL Custody is a leading institutional-grade digital asset custody solution developed by OSL, Asia’s first and only publicly listed, licensed, and insured crypto trading platform. Designed for businesses, institutions, and high-net-worth individuals, OSL Custody offers military-grade security, regulatory compliance, and robust insurance coverage—making it one of the most trusted custody platforms globally.
With a foundation in Hong Kong’s advanced financial ecosystem, OSL Custody supports a full spectrum of digital asset services, including secure storage, private key management, and seamless integrations for tokenization and trading. Operating under licenses from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), OSL ensures full regulatory alignment and protection for every client, offering coverage of up to US$1 billion in digital asset insurance.
OSL Custody is part of the broader OSL ecosystem, a subsidiary of the publicly traded OSL Group (HKEX: 863), and stands at the forefront of regulated digital finance in Asia. The custody service was built with one mission in mind: to provide secure, transparent, and compliant storage of digital assets for institutional and professional clients navigating an evolving regulatory landscape.
Backed by multiple SFC licenses (Types 1, 4, 7, 9, and AMLO), OSL is not only Hong Kong’s first licensed Virtual Asset Trading Platform (VATP) but also the largest crypto ETF custodian in the region, commanding over 70% market share. The OSL Custody service leverages this infrastructure and reputation to offer clients best-in-class safekeeping of assets ranging from Bitcoin and Ethereum to tokenized real-world assets (RWA).
What sets OSL Custody apart is its vertically integrated approach. Clients benefit from end-to-end services including OTC trading, wealth management, staking, and omnibus account support—all accessible within a single, secure platform. The ecosystem enables seamless asset flows between custody, trading, and portfolio management, minimizing risk and increasing operational efficiency.
Security is a cornerstone of OSL Custody. The platform employs military-grade infrastructure, and has undergone rigorous audits, including the SOC 2 Type 2 certification. In addition to technical security, OSL provides insurance coverage of up to US$1 billion for held assets—an unprecedented level of protection in the digital asset space. This coverage gives institutions and large holders peace of mind, knowing their digital assets are safeguarded against loss, theft, or compromise.
As the demand for compliant digital asset storage rises globally, OSL is well-positioned to serve enterprises across Asia and beyond. Whether it’s banks, asset managers, hedge funds, family offices, or crypto-native businesses, OSL Custody provides a fully licensed and insured option that meets the most stringent compliance requirements. When compared to competitors like Coinbase Custody, BitGo, or Fireblocks, OSL's integrated approach within a regulated framework gives it a distinct advantage, particularly in Asia-Pacific markets.
