On June 18, the stablecoin regulatory bill GENIUS Act was officially approved by the US Senate , and the mainstreaming of criptocurrencies has been further accelerated. On June 19, Binance founder CZ escribio eso each platform should have a will function to facilitate the allocation of assets to designated accounts in a specified proportion after the users death. These two seemingly unrelated things reflect one of the hot demands of the current market: crypto asset custody. Unlike traditional asset custody, which is mature and has a market size of trillions, cryptocurrency asset management is still a virgin land to be developed at this stage. This has also led to the strong demand of different customers such as institutional asset management, family inheritance, and transaction management, which urgently needs a reliable asset management platform to undertake.

At the same time, an asset security document titled Web3.0 Cryptocurrency Exchange Security Risk Guide has brought an enterprise-level crypto asset self-custody platform called NexVault to the forefront. It is understood that the platforms asset management scale exceeds US$2 billion, and its cooperative customers include crypto exchanges, investment funds, family offices, quantitative institutions and high-net-worth individuals. The business is currently in a high-speed growth trend and is expected to open up a new situation for crypto asset custody. Odaily Planet Daily will give a detailed introduction to the NexVault platform in this article for users with relevant needs as a reference.

Cryptocurrency security incidents occur frequently, and asset custody faces new difficulties

The security of cryptocurrency assets has always been a major focus. Especially after the crypto exchange Bybit was hacked by Lazarus Group and stole $1.5 billion, Infini was stolen $50 million by a team insider, and SUI ecological DeFi protocol Cetus lost $60 million, the security of crypto assets not only faces the previous threats such as phishing, chain poisoning, and social engineering attacks, but also faces more complex new dilemmas such as traditional asset conversion, internal team management, and ecological security defense.

As of April this year, the cumulative losses from crypto hacker attacks this year have reached $1.74 billion , exceeding the total of $1.49 billion for the whole year of 2024. According to PeckShield, an on-chain security analysis agency , there were about 20 major cryptocurrency security incidents in May 2025, resulting in a total loss of $244.1 million. In less than half a year, the overall losses from cryptocurrency security incidents have approached $2 billion. The frequent security incidents have also put forward higher requirements for the asset management model of various participants in the market.

Whether it is a traditional institution that is ready to make a big step into the cryptocurrency industry, or a crypto exchange, crypto investment fund or institution with a certain amount of funds, or a Crypto Family that has accumulated sufficient crypto assets, including quantitative institutions and individual crypto traders who often call on funds for high-frequency trading operations, in todays volatile crypto market, a new, safe, reliable and efficient asset management solution is needed.

The emergence of NexVault will provide a new solution for the industry.

Unveiling NexVault: The Next Generation of Crypto Asset Management Vaults

To talk about the industry track, we must first clarify the industry standards, and this is exactly the direction that NexVault is focusing on.

According to members of the NexVault team, the project name NexVault combines the words Next (next generation) + Vault (vault), which is intended to emphasize that NexVault is not only a self-custodial wallet for encrypted assets, but also the vault standard for the next generation of encrypted assets. This represents the comprehensive evolution of encrypted asset management from asset storage, security management, inheritance planning, to enterprise-level risk control systems.

It is understood that the founder of the NexVault team is L1 4 ng , the former vice president of Huobi Security, who has managed hundreds of billions of US dollars in crypto assets and has rich experience in cold and hot wallets and exchange security architecture; NexVault CSO (Chief Security Officer) Rick Chen has worked in many crypto security projects and risk control companies, focusing on cross-chain risk control and enterprise-level crypto compliance strategies;

The NexVault team has more than ten years of experience in encryption security and enterprise system architecture. The platforms asset management scale has exceeded 2 billion US dollars, and it has maintained a 0 asset loss record since the system went online. It has to be said that in the cryptocurrency industry, which is in crisis step by step, it is not easy to achieve this result.

Behind this is the result of NexVaults efforts to solve many industry problems. Specifically, the current user pain points include:

• The enterprise asset management chain is long and has many weak links, and the fund transfer operation is complicated and has a high risk factor;

• The security of large-scale assets of investment institutions, investment funds and family offices is tied to independent wallets;

• Quantitative institutions and individual traders are active on-chain, but their operations are difficult to trace and their authority is difficult to manage.

It can be said that NexVault provides not only an asset self-custody wallet, but also a standardized asset operating system for institutions, enterprises, families, and even individuals and future finance. From identity permissions, risk control audits to inheritance relays, NexVaults solutions are the first to shift asset management from the previous high reliance on rule of man to the more reliable rule-based governance today. It is committed to making every on-chain asset flow as safely, orderly, and controllably as assets in a bank account.

NexVault’s “Four Magic Weapons”: Exclusive customized solutions for different groups of people

According to official statistics, the NexVault platform currently has over $2 billion in assets involving custody clients, mainly concentrated in four categories, including:

• Institutional and fund clients (accounting for about 40%): covering crypto exchanges, investment institutions, market makers, etc.;

• Family offices and high net worth individuals (accounting for about 30%): This group of people is more concerned about long-term allocation and inheritance plans;

• Quantitative teams and professional traders (accounting for about 20%): They have extremely high requirements for capital risk control and trading efficiency;

• Crypto natives and individual users (accounting for about 10%): This group of people has higher requirements for asset security.

NexVault provides four targeted solutions for different customer groups:

• Enterprise Crypto Wallet: An enterprise wallet solution designed to lower the threshold for using crypto assets, improve financial efficiency, and provide full-process security protection. It provides multi-role decentralized control, fund approval process, signature security control, fund isolation by organization, financial data management, personnel risk prevention and control, custom labels and other functional mechanisms.

• Enterprise cold wallet: The vault of enterprise encrypted assets, supports local generation of mnemonics and offline transaction signatures, ensures that the mnemonics do not touch the Internet throughout the process, and combines multi-signature and permission approval mechanisms to achieve the ultimate security protection of assets.

• Family Crypto Asset Wallet: An asset management tool designed for long-term holding scenarios, which enables self-custody of mnemonics, family joint management and intergenerational inheritance. It supports multiple backup mechanisms, setting up inheritors and inheritance processes, multiple recovery mechanisms, and on-chain high-quality asset allocation and income management.

• One-stop transaction management: Provides a safer asset management method for asset management institutions and quantitative trading teams, supports flexible transaction risk control and data profit and loss analysis capabilities, supports the setting of monitoring risk exposure and warning methods, one-click warehouse division, transaction withdrawal and other functions, ensures TEE safe storage, transaction information is readable and auditable, and multi-platform data and profit and loss are managed in a unified manner.

It is worth mentioning that NexVault supports the native multi-signature capabilities of 13 mainstream public chains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Tron, BNB Chain, and asset integration of multiple platforms (such as Binance, OKX, Deribit, etc.), providing a global unified asset view and convenient management of cross-multi-signature assets, on-chain assets, and exchange assets.

In terms of security, which is of most concern to asset management users, NexVault has also set up multiple security strategies:

• The core module has been audited by well-known security organizations in the industry such as SlowMist;

• The platform includes a full-link audit record and signature traceability mechanism;

• Provide customized and professional solutions for corporate clients and high net worth users;

• In extreme events, a pre-set emergency asset freezing and recovery mechanism is provided to ensure that user assets are free from the risk of permanent damage.

NexVault CSO Rick Chen said frankly: NexVaults goal is to ensure that customer funds remain trustworthy when unexpected events occur.

In addition, NexVault plans to launch more functional modules integrated with traditional financial systems (such as ERP, family office tools, and crypto asset inheritance) in the future to further support autonomous asset management operations such as AI and AI Agent, thereby increasing the flexibility and convenience of the asset management model while ensuring asset security.

NexVault, the next generation crypto asset management platform: simple, secure, and diverse

It is understood that NexVaults current business focus is mainly concentrated in countries and regions such as Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States. The main target groups are high-net-worth groups and regions where highly active investment institutions are relatively concentrated, which also provides the possibility for the platform to further expand its business coverage in the future.

At the critical juncture when the number of crypto-currency users in the world has exceeded 500 million, NexVault, which is determined to build the next generation of crypto asset management platform, still seems to have a sense of the great way is simple in its overall thinking.

• Simplicity: Use convenient and efficient platform functions to serve non-crypto native people and lower the threshold for self-custody, calling and management of crypto assets;

• Security: Adhere to the bottom line of security awareness and build a strong asset security door from the aspects of signature method, signature private key, permission isolation, transaction information inspection and verification, target address risk inspection, transaction simulation execution, mainstream hardware wallet support, etc.;

• Diversity: Provide diversified solutions for diversified users. Whether it is the inheritance function for individual and family users, or the private deployment solution for institutional users, NexVaults rich experience and open innovation in crypto asset management can be seen. Not only that, NexVault can also provide customized custody, risk control and audit services for different customers, truly thinking what users think and doing what users have not done.

In the subsequent expansion of cooperation, NexVault will also expand the API ecosystem to support the access of more crypto-native protocols and Web2 enterprise ports. In this regard, NexVault will attend the IVS Crypto 2025 event held in Tokyo, Japan from July 2 to 4, at which time it will officially announce more platform function updates and subsequent development route planning.

Conclusion: NexVault will become a bridge between Web2 and Web3

For a long time, despite the accelerating mainstreaming of cryptocurrency, the industry still lacks various infrastructures: such as a unified account management system, a clear asset boundary system with clear permissions, and a privatized infrastructure solution that meets the needs of personalized customers such as enterprises, institutions, and large family offices. Limited by the huge difference between crypto assets and traditional assets, there is still a gap between the Web2 asset management field and the Web3 asset management track that is difficult for ordinary people to cross. NexVault came into being. In the future, while adhering to its own asset management security system, NexVault is expected to become an asset management bridge connecting on-chain and off-chain, freedom and compliance, thereby truly opening the golden age of the Web3 financial system.

Finally, I will conclude with three pieces of advice from NexVault for different groups of people:

• To institutions: Don’t think of “signature” as a technical action; it is the cornerstone of your asset process management.

• For family offices: Succession doesn’t happen after something goes wrong; it should be planned today and verified tomorrow.

• To quantitative traders: Always assume that you will be cheated by your own people once, and your risk control and withdrawal mechanisms must be able to withstand this blow.

STAY SAFE.
