“Can institutional-grade digital asset custody and orchestration infrastructure become the backbone for banks, custodians, and fintechs entering the digital asset economy — now as part of Ripple?”
Founded in 2015 in Lausanne as an institutional digital asset infrastructure company, Metaco built SILO — a hardware-secured platform for cryptocurrencies, tokens, and distributed ledgers — serving top-tier banks and global custodians. It expanded into Harmonize, a full digital asset core system with banking roots, enabling orchestration of custody, trading, and DeFi workflows for regulated financial institutions. In 2023, Ripple acquired Metaco for $250 million in its first-ever acquisition, integrating Metaco's enterprise custody technology into Ripple's institutional digital asset offerings. By June 2024, the Metaco.com brand was sunset and the platform was fully absorbed into Ripple's product suite.
Metaco's crypto products run on CYSEC ARCA (HSM/Trusted OS, via partnership) and Metaco SILO (self-operated).
Metaco was founded by Adrien Treccani and is founded in 2015, headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Metaco has raised $250M (acquisition by Ripple) in total (latest round: Acquired by Ripple, 2023; valuation: $250M acquisition price).
