“Can a Galaxy-backed, air-gapped custody platform become the default digital asset infrastructure layer for regulated financial institutions?”
GK8 was founded as a cybersecurity-focused digital asset custody platform targeting institutional financial institutions. It differentiated itself through an air-gapped, cold-wallet infrastructure designed to prevent online attack vectors. Following acquisition by Galaxy Digital, GK8 became Galaxy's institutional custody and digital asset infrastructure arm, enabling financial institutions to offer digital asset services under their own brand. The company competes directly with Fireblocks in the digital asset security platform segment.
Gk8's crypto products run on GK8 (in-house).
