Hex Trust

Hex Trust is a regulated digital asset custodian founded in 2018, headquartered in Hong Kong, providing institutional-grade custody, staking and wallet infrastructure for 100+ digital assets across multiple chains. The platform is focused on the Asian institutional market — serving asset managers, funds, family offices, exchanges and enterprises that require regulated, enterprise-grade custody for digital assets.

Hex Trust’s core product is Hex Safe, its proprietary digital asset custody platform that combines cold-storage security with institutional-grade operational controls, insurance and regulatory compliance. The platform holds licenses in Hong Kong (TCSP) and other jurisdictions, positioning it as a compliant custody partner for institutions operating in or alongside Asian markets.

While Hex Trust is primarily a custody provider rather than a merchant payment gateway, its infrastructure supports institutional payment and settlement flows — including secure holding of assets used for payments, staking and settlement. As of August 2026, Hex Trust continues to operate as a leading Asia-focused regulated custodian.

Best for: Institutions, asset managers, funds and enterprises — particularly those operating in or alongside Asian markets — that require regulated, institutional-grade digital asset custody and wallet infrastructure.

Hex Trust uses custom enterprise pricing based on assets under custody (AUC), transaction volume, staking activity and required service modules. Pricing is negotiated per institutional client and is not published as a self-serve rate card.
