Founders & story · from Zodia Custody’s own dossier

Founded in 2020 as a joint venture between Standard Chartered and Northern Trust to bring bank-grade custody to digital assets. Since expanded shareholder base to include SBI Holdings, Emirates NBD, and National Australia Bank. Evolving from pure custody into a broader institutional digital asset platform — Interchange for off-venue settlement, Solutions (a BaaS-equivalent for banks entering digital assets), and now custody-native credit and stablecoin/EMT support following its 2026 Luxembourg PI license.
