Crypto.com Custody Adds XYO and XL1 to Segregated MPC

Crypto.com Custody announced Monday that it will hold XYO and XL1 in client‑segregated multi‑party computation (MPC) wallets. The company said private keys will be protected by MPC running inside trusted execution environments and that the arrangement places assets under a bankruptcy‑remote structure.

Under the agreement, assets will remain in wallets maintained by a bankruptcy‑remote entity. Institutional clients and high‑net‑worth users can execute swaps against Crypto.com’s institutional liquidity without first transferring tokens onto an exchange, allowing trading while holdings stay in custody. Crypto.com described the service as providing cold storage, detailed audit trails and direct access to exchange liquidity.

Eric Anziani, president and chief operating officer of Crypto.com, said, “Digital asset organizations require a custodial solution that delivers both unmatched security and seamless liquidity,” and added the structure is intended to keep the XYO ecosystem safeguarded and ready for global scale. Markus Levin, co‑founder of XYO, said the relationship began when XYO listed on Crypto.com’s exchange and expanded as the teams worked together; he noted enterprise‑grade security is important as the project builds infrastructure for AI, robotics and decentralized machine intelligence.

The announcement follows a July 2026 investment of $400 million from Citadel Securities that valued Crypto.com at $20 billion. In February 2026 the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency gave conditional approval for Crypto.com National Trust Bank. Crypto.com Custody Trust Company continues to be a qualified custodian under the New Hampshire Banking Department.

XYO, founded in 2016, operates a decentralized physical infrastructure network with more than ten million nodes that produce verifiable real‑world data used in AI, robotics and logistics. XL1 is the network’s transaction and gas token and supports its blockchain infrastructure. The custody deal coincides with XL1’s first listing on a major exchange since its token sale.

Crypto.com said the service gives eligible institutions and wealthy clients a regulated path to store, manage and swap XYO and XL1 without moving assets off custody, and supports the company’s expansion into tokenized securities and derivatives.
