Cactus Custody Wins Innovation in Digital Asset Custody Award

Cactus Custody, the regulated institutional custody arm of Matrixport, has been awarded the “Innovation in Digital Asset Custody” by Global Custodian. The recognition was announced at the 2025 Leaders in Custody Asia Awards on May 29 in Singapore, alongside other notable winners such as BNP Paribas, Citi, DBS Bank, and Standard Chartered.

The annual event, hosted at the Raffles Hotel, brought together over 150 senior executives from leading financial institutions across the Asia Pacific region. Organised by Global Custodian, the ceremony highlights innovation and excellence in custody and asset servicing across the region.

Cactus Custody was recognised for its continued focus on security, technology, and service. In the first half of 2025, the platform introduced a mobile approval tool with advanced multi-layered protection, enabling secure, on-the-go transaction reviews without device constraints. This award reflects growing industry confidence in its ability to deliver user-centric innovation on top of robust infrastructure.

Wendy Jiang, General Manager of Cactus Custody, expressed pride in the recognition, stating, “We’re proud to be recognised by Global Custodian. This award reinforces our commitment to building secure, compliant, and future-ready infrastructure for institutional digital asset custody. We’ll continue to innovate around real client needs and drive the evolution of trusted custody services.”

In 2024, Cactus Custody was named “Custodian of the Year – APAC” at the Hedgeweek Global Digital Assets Awards. The award was based on comprehensive research and feedback from more than 100 digital asset fund managers globally.
