In an industry-defining move, Onramp is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Tetra Trust, Canada’s first and only Qualified Custodian for digital assets, to fortify its Multi-Institution Custody model. This alliance will extend Onramp’s innovative custody solutions and establish a new benchmark for global bitcoin asset management.
With the addition of Tetra Trust, Onramp is enhancing its already robust Multi-Institution Custody framework. By incorporating a Qualified Custodian that adheres to Canada’s stringent regulatory standards, Onramp is reinforcing the trust and security which are foundational to its services. This expansion into multi-jurisdictional oversight means that not only are the physical and digital security measures enhanced, but also the regulatory and compliance frameworks are broadened, providing a more resilient and reliable custodial service to clients worldwide.
The best security available for your bitcoin without the technical burden. It's time to upgrade.
This collaboration introduces the first-ever 2-of-3 multi-sig key quorum where each key is held by an independent entity in a distinct jurisdiction – BitGo in the United States, Coincover in the United Kingdom, and now Tetra Trust in Canada. This pioneering structure is designed to mitigate regional risks, such as political instability or localized regulatory changes, which could affect the security and availability of bitcoin assets.

This multi-jurisdictional approach not only diversifies the geographic spread of private keys but also leverages varied legal landscapes to enhance custodial stability and security, setting a new industry standard for international asset protection. Onramp plans to utilize this multi-jurisdictional quorum (with keys distributed between BitGo, Coincover, and Tetra Trust) within its offshore Cayman fund vehicle, available to accredited investors globally.
Integrating Tetra Trust reflects Onramp’s dedication to building a truly global financial services platform that aligns with bitcoin’s decentralized nature. This partnership represents a strategic move to accommodate an increasingly global client base, including institutions and high-net-worth individuals who require a sophisticated, secure, and compliant custodial service that spans multiple jurisdictions. It demonstrates Onramp’s commitment to compliance with international custodial standards, offering clients a sophisticated platform that supports diverse regulatory requirements and operational resilience.
The multi-institution, multi-jurisdictional model pioneered by Onramp with Tetra Trust is a game changer for several reasons:
This collaboration between Onramp and Tetra Trust marks a significant milestone in the evolution of bitcoin custodial services. We invite you to be part of this innovative journey as we continue to lead and redefine the standards of secure, reliable, and compliant bitcoin asset management.
