Polkadot Capital Group, a capital markets-focused division of Polkadot, and Zodia Custody, an institution-first digital assets custodian, have announced a strategic initiative to increase institutional awareness of Zodia’s Polkadot custody and integrated staking solutions.
The initiative focuses on showcasing Zodia Custody’s bank-first security and risk management framework as part of the broader institutional infrastructure supporting the Polkadot ecosystem, highlighting the pathways available to large-scale capital allocators in key growth regions.
The alliance is guided by a commitment to upholding high standards in safety, risk management, and governance, reflecting the shared vision that digital assets must meet the same rigorous requirements as traditional financial instruments.
In partnering with Zodia Custody, Polkadot Capital Group ensures that organisations can access their ecosystem, supported by custody infrastructure that aligns with evolving regulatory standards across key jurisdictions.
Dave Sedacca, lead at Polkadot Capital Group, comments: “Our relationship with Zodia Custody directly addresses this need, and we are collectively focused on defining the institutional onramp by pairing Polkadot’s advanced, multi-chain technology with custody solutions that meet the highest standards.
“Together, we aim to enable secure participation at scale while ensuring reliability, transparency, and confidence in the ecosystem.”
Anoosh Arevshatian, chief product officer at Zodia Custody, adds: “Institutions are eager to participate in ecosystems like Polkadot, but only without compromising on security. By enabling DOT staking directly from cold, segregated custody, we’re redefining what institutional-grade participation looks like: safe, transparent, and frictionless.
“This collaboration marks a step toward a future where institutions can engage with next-generation networks at scale, with the confidence and control they expect from traditional finance.”
