Last year, Crypto.com secured a U.S. trust charter, allowing it to operate as a qualified custodian under American regulatory standards. <\/p>\n<p>This positioned it among a small group of crypto companies licensed to offer institutional-grade asset storage in compliance with federal custody requirements. The platform\u2019s $120 million insurance coverage and multi-party computation key management system further strengthened its risk-mitigation framework, giving clients confidence in large-scale treasury operations.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership with Pineapple Financial comes just days after the exchange applied for a National Trust Bank Charter with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. If approved, the license would grant Crypto.com full federal oversight \u2014 elevating its custody arm from a state-regulated trust company to a nationally chartered institution. <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto.com has partnered with Pineapple Financial to provide custody and staking infrastructure for its INJ treasury, adding to its growing roster of institutional custody clients.
