In the official post, Kraken explains that institutions “require a custody solution that enables them to store, manage, and scale their strategies.”


Speaking with Cointelegraph, Tim Ogilvie, Kraken’s global head of institutional, explained that expanding to the UK and AU was a “natural choice" for Kraken Custody.“We’ll be looking to expand to more locations such as the European Union, Switzerland, Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands in the near future."


Kraken Custody is a service provided by Kraken that facilitates storage and access to digital assets for institutions, enabling them to adhere to regulations while entering the crypto market.


Ogilvie explained that "Kraken Custody is protected by protocols” built by the team’s “in-house cybersecurity team.”“Accounts come with MPC technology and HSMs for key storage and policy enforcements. This means clients have more flexibility and timely access to their assets while benefiting from secure and robust controls.”
