KuCoin, a global crypto platform, has announced that its institutional arm, KuCoin Institutional, has partnered with Cactus Custody, Matrixport's digital asset custodian.
This partnership integrates Cactus Oasis, Cactus Custody's off-exchange settlement (OES) framework, which the firm says, sets new benchmarks for custody security, trading efficiency, and capital optimisation.
Through this integration, institutional and eligible clients can execute trades on KuCoin without pre-funding exchange wallets.
The firm also adds that clients' assets remain securely held in a regulated and fully segregated custody environment with Cactus Custody until order execution, supported by its safeguards.
This enables clients to access KuCoin Institutional's deep liquidity across spot, margin, options, and perpetual futures markets while maintaining high standards of asset protection.
Wendy Jiang, general manager at Cactus Custody, says: "At Cactus Custody, we are committed to advancing security standards and digital asset operations, working closely with industry partners to enhance client asset safety and seamless market access.
“Our latest offering — Cactus Oasis, combines institutional-grade security with integrated operational efficiency.
“By launching on KuCoin, we continue to broaden institutional clients' access to trading venues and further strengthen client trust."
Tika Lum, head of global BD at KuCoin Institutional, adds: "Our partnership with Cactus Custody represents a pivotal step in building a safer and more efficient digital asset ecosystem for institutions.
“The launch of KuCoin Institutional and our integration with Cactus reaffirm our commitment to providing institutions with the highest standards of liquidity, infrastructure, and security."
