Fintech Startup Apex Clearing will launch a custodial cryptocurrency service

Specializing in financial technology, Apex Clearing is preparing to launch a crypto-protodial service, reports Business Insider .

Users of the new solution called Apex Crypto will be able to open cryptocurrency accounts for the purchase and sale of tokens. The service will be available in most US states.

At first, Apex Crypto will support Bitcoin, Live, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin. In the future, the company may expand the list of supported assets.

Initially, the opening of the service was planned for the fourth quarter of 2018, but later the launch was postponed until approximately February 2019.

It should be noted that recently, services for safekeeping of assets for large investors have begun to open more frequently. For example, at the end of last year, the BitGo start-up cryptocurrency startup licensed a qualified custodian. A similar resolution in October 2018 was received by the leading American bitcoin exchange Coinbase .

We also recall, according to some data, in March it is planned to launch a crypto-protodial service from investment giant Fidelity Investments .
