According to Golden Finance, Ripple published an article saying that by 2033, the global hosting service market size is expected to grow from US$41 billion in 2023 to more than US$100 billion. Digital assets are driving this boom, and custodian providers across the financial industry have ample opportunities to take advantage of this emerging technology. As institutions accelerate adoption of digital assets, customers seek more than just safe storage; they expect advanced bank-grade infrastructure to balance strong regulatory compliance with seamless 24/7 availability. Digital asset custodians who meet this requirement to facilitate custody, governance and transaction use cases will be able to get a share of this multi-billion dollar market. It is expected that by 2030, more than 10% of global assets will be tokenized, including RWAs such as financial instruments (stocks, bonds, ETFs) and even artworks and carbon credits. This wave of digital transformation that reshapes the hosting landscape requires next-generation solutions. The 24/7 feature of digital asset flows and transactions requires cryptocurrency custodians to provide continuous accessibility to institutional clients without compromising security. Digital asset custodians must also support all relevant L1 blockchains, higher throughput capabilities, and access to transactions and liquidity venues. And, as transaction volume increases, custodians must ensure that their infrastructure can be scaled effectively without compromising efficiency or global regulatory compliance. In addition to these basic features, the custodians deploying an institution-level solution that supports customizable control of operations and security models, including flexible deployment or management of private keys, can provide customers with innovative new use cases. These use cases may include: - Issuing and custodial tokenized securities and RWA or cryptocurrency custody and trading wallets for institutional and retail investors; - Strong compliance controls and advanced governance frameworks to provide asset protection; - Become a secondary custodian on the global custodian network to enhance service distribution; - Seamless access to liquidity providers, exchanges, and lending and staking platforms.
