“Can an Australian-regulated crypto OTC and custody firm become the institutional bridge between traditional finance rails and digital asset operations across the Asia-Pacific region?”
Founded in 2016 as a Melbourne-based crypto-asset firm focused on execution, custody, and OTC trading for institutional and wholesale clients. Zerocap progressively built out regulated product wrappers — including AUSTRAC DCE registration and an AFSL-authorised representative structure — to serve family offices, hedge funds, and exchanges. Rather than pursuing retail, the firm deepened its institutional positioning by becoming a Fireblocks Global Custodian Partner in 2024, cementing its role as infrastructure for digital-asset treasury management, stablecoin settlement (USDT/USDC), and cross-border crypto-fiat flows.
Zerocap's crypto products run on Fireblocks.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in Zerocap's stack: Lending (Crypto treasury lending); Crypto (Fireblocks).
