We serve high net-worth individuals, institutional investors, and financial intermediaries with a best-in-class suite of products, which include Multi-Institution Custody, a spot Bitcoin Fund, Onramp Wealth for RIAs, and Private Wealth services for HNWIs. Leveraging our partnership with BitGo and other industry leaders, Onramp’s multi-institution custody is a first-of-its-kind institutional-grade vault, requiring 2 of 3 institutions at any point in time to sign once a client’s unique permissions have been met.  Our multi-institution vaults utilize cold storage key signing and authentication at the direction of the client to maximize security for client assets. This pioneering approach to custody is the foundation of Onramp’s financial products, which reduce counterparty risk associated with trusting a single institution.  To learn more about how Onramp can help you secure a new or existing bitcoin position, please visit our website at www.onrampbitcoin.com, where you can schedule a consultation and connect directly with our team.
