HSBC, one of the world’s largest banking and financial services organizations, has announced its partnership with Metaco, a leading provider of digital asset solutions for institutional clients.
Expanding into the Digital Asset Space
As the demand for digital asset solutions continues to rise, HSBC aims to meet the growing needs of institutional clients seeking secure and efficient custody services for their digital assets.
“We are excited to collaborate with Metaco to offer our institutional clients a state-of-the-art digital asset custody solution,” said Greg Hingston, Head of Digital Assets at HSBC. “With Metaco’s expertise and innovative technology, we can provide reliable and robust custody services for a wide range of digital assets.”

“By partnering with Metaco, we can assure our institutional clients that their digital asset custody complies with the necessary regulations and industry best practices,” added Hingston.
The collaboration between HSBC and Metaco is a significant step forward in providing institutional clients with a secure and reliable solution for their digital asset custody needs.
With digital assets gaining increased acceptance and recognition within the mainstream financial landscape, it is crucial for financial institutions to equip themselves with the necessary infrastructure and technology to cater to their clients’ evolving demands.
This partnership aligns with HSBC’s commitment to embracing digital transformation and reinforces its position as a trusted custodian for both traditional and digital assets.
