The conversation around digital asset custody has moved well beyond compliance and safekeeping. For banks, fintechs, and card program operators, custody is now a foundational infrastructure decision — one that directly shapes how fast money moves, how stablecoin issuance is structured, and whether real-time B2B settlement is even possible.
In this session, Cross River and Fireblocks bring together the bank and infrastructure perspectives to unpack what custody actually means in a payments-driven world. We'll walk through how wallet architecture — hot, warm, and cold — affects payment speed and operational risk, what the difference between self-custody, qualified custody, and sub-custody means for your compliance obligations, and how the custody decision cascades into settlement finality, card network timing, and stablecoin issuer requirements.
Whether you're evaluating a custody setup for the first time or pressure-testing an existing architecture, you'll leave with a clear framework for the questions to ask, the red flags to watch for, and where the industry is heading next.
