Hong Kong, November 5, 2025 - Cactus Custody, a compliant digital asset custody institution under Matrixport that holds a Hong Kong TCSP license, today announced a strategic partnership with KuCoin Institutional, the institutional client division of KuCoin, which serves professional/corporate clients.

Through this collaboration, Kucoin will fully integrate Cactus Custody 's Oasis over-the-counter settlement solution to jointly promote institutional-grade asset custody security, transaction efficiency, and capital utilization, setting a new industry benchmark.

Once integrated, institutional and other eligible clients can conduct various transactions on the KuCoin platform without depositing funds into their exchange wallets. Before a trade is executed, client assets will be stored in a Cactus Custody custodian account, completely isolated from the exchange platform, ensuring compliant, secure, and efficient asset management. Cactus Custody employs multi-layered security measures, including multi-signature wallets, cold storage mechanisms, and ISO-certified security standards, ensuring that clients enjoy both the high liquidity and top-tier asset security when trading spot, leveraged, options, and contracts on KuCoin.

Wendy Jiang, General Manager of Cactus Custody, stated, “Cactus Custody is committed to raising industry security standards and providing institutional clients with comprehensive asset management solutions. While ensuring the safety of client assets, we collaborate with leading platforms to enable clients to efficiently capture market opportunities. Our newly launched Cactus Oasis OTC solution integrates institutional-grade security with one-stop asset management. This partnership with KuCoin will broaden institutional clients' trading options and enhance their trust in the custody system.”

KuCoin recently launched its $2 billion Trust Project, aimed at enhancing customer trust. This collaboration is a concrete example of this initiative, further solidifying KuCoin's diversified partnership ecosystem by providing institutional clients with safer and more flexible investment and trading options. It also supports clients in flexibly choosing custody platforms to meet their diverse risk management and operational needs.

“The partnership with Cactus Custody is a significant milestone in building a secure and efficient institutional-grade digital asset ecosystem. The establishment of KuCoin Institutional, a dedicated division for institutional clients, and the subsequent integration of the Cactus Oasis product, further demonstrate Kucoin’s unwavering commitment to providing institutional clients with ultra-high liquidity, world-class infrastructure, and top-tier security,” shared Tika Lum, Global Head of Business at KuCoin Institutional.

Since the launch of Cactus Oasis, Cactus Custody has partnered with several leading trading platforms to deploy the solution, helping institutional clients enjoy a highly liquid trading experience while maximizing asset security. By continuously deepening its collaboration with top trading platforms, Cactus Custody is accelerating its mission to connect traditional finance with the Web3 economy.
