  • a Custody and administration 28 countries Holding clients' crypto-assets or the private keys to them, and keeping them safe. This is what a wallet service or an exchange that keeps your coins does.

  • d Exchange for other crypto-assets 28 countries Swapping one crypto-asset for another with the client, using the provider's own capital — for example bitcoin for a stablecoin.

  • f Placing of crypto-assets 28 countries Marketing newly issued crypto-assets to buyers on behalf of the issuer — the crypto equivalent of underwriting or an IPO placement.
