Kraken and Upshift Partner to Offer Custom Institutional Vaults
Institutional clients can securely hold assets while efficiently putting them to work.
1New Partnership
Kraken Institutional has partnered with multi-chain vault infrastructure provider Upshift to offer custom, permissioned vaults for institutional clients. This integration allows clients to access onchain yield strategies directly through Kraken's qualified custody solution without needing separate wallets or additional providers.
2Technological Integration
The integration between Kraken and Upshift combines qualified custody, prime brokerage, liquidity, and onchain yield into a single institutional relationship. Clients can deploy assets into custom vaults directly from their existing custody accounts, with underlying assets distributed to selected vault contracts and receipt tokens returned to their segregated Kraken custody solution.
3Institutional Controls
Upshift creates client-specific vaults tailored to each institution's strategy, asset mix, liquidity needs, and risk parameters. Kraken collaborates with Upshift and vetted professional vault curators to support DeFi, CeFi, PayFi, and real-world asset strategies across more than 30 chains.
4Comprehensive Services
Kraken pairs qualified custody with institutional services, enabling clients to efficiently deploy assets across exchange, OTC, and onchain markets. Services like prime brokerage, financing, deep liquidity, and smart order routing provide a comprehensive solution for institutional clients.
5Client Benefits
This integration allows institutional clients to securely hold assets while efficiently putting them to work. Clients gain access to onchain yield, centralized market strategies, and OTC opportunities through a single access point, eliminating the operational burden that historically made many yield opportunities impractical.
6Future Vision
The Kraken and Upshift partnership redefines the balance between secure custody and asset deployment for institutional clients. This platform enables clients to generate yield without setting up new wallets, counterparties, or protocols while maintaining rigorous risk management. Kraken Custody is becoming the most productive place for institutional capital.
