Metaco embeds institutions in Web3
Founded in 2015 in Switzerland, Metaco is a technology company whose mission is to enable financial and non-financial institutions to acquire solutions dedicated to cryptocurrencies. Custody, trading, tokenization, staking and even smart contract management services, the Harmonize platform developed by Metaco seamlessly connects institutions to the vast universe of Web3 and decentralized finance (DeFi).
While the cryptocurrency market was going through a more than difficult period, Metaco has therefore established itself as the institutional standard for digital asset management infrastructure.and has earned the trust of top fund managers, banks, regulated exchanges and corporations around the world.
Furthermore, this collaboration with DZ Bank is the 4th partnership of this type that Metaco has entered into with major financial institutions in the last 8 months. It follows similar contracts entered into with Société Générale, Citibank and DekaBank.
Having signed with such clients should undoubtedly help Metaco to approach other institutional investors in the coming months.
