Crypto.com Custody Launches Institutional Custody for XYO and XL1 Tokens
Crypto.com Custody announced that it will provide institutional-grade custody and liquidity services for the XYO and XL1 digital assets. The tokens will be stored in client‑segregated multi‑party computation (MPC) wallets held by a bankruptcy‑remote entity, allowing institutions to keep assets in cold storage while accessing Crypto.com’s trading liquidity.
The service follows Crypto.com’s recent regulatory progress: the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency gave the firm conditional approval to charter Crypto.com National Trust Bank in February 2026, and its existing custody arm is regulated by the New Hampshire Banking Department. Earlier in July 2026, Citadel Securities invested $400 million in Crypto.com at a $20 billion valuation, supporting the company’s expansion into tokenized securities and derivatives.
XYO Network operates a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) with more than 10 million nodes that provide verifiable real‑world data for AI and robotics applications. XL1, the network’s utility token, is making its first listing on a major exchange. Crypto.com President and COO Eric Anziani highlighted the partnership as essential for safeguarding the ecosystem, while XYO co‑founder Markus Levin called the custodial solution a foundation for future AI and machine‑intelligence infrastructure.
