For hedge funds, family offices, and public corporations, &#8220;self-custody&#8221; via a simple hardware wallet is no longer sufficient. In 2026, the industry has shifted toward <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"287\">Institutional-Grade Custody<\/b>, focusing on regulatory compliance, bankruptcy remoteness, and multi-party computation (MPC).<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">If your organization is looking to secure significant digital asset holdings, these are the top five custody providers leading the market in 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"7\">1.
