A technology-driven financial institution powering the digital asset industry MoreLess

First Digital Trust operates as a technology-driven trustee and qualified custodian, providing a comprehensive suite of financial services tailored for the digital asset market. The company specializes in tokenizing various asset types, including commodities, securities, and real estate, making it easier for clients to manage and trade these assets. Their clientele includes investment specialists, asset managers, advisors, funds, traditional financial institutions like banks and brokerage firms, as well as high net worth individuals and family offices.

First Digital Trust's business model revolves around offering B2B2C open finance solutions, which means they provide services to businesses that, in turn, serve consumers. They generate revenue through a variety of services such as multi-asset custody, settlement clearing, and secure transaction instructions. Their open APIs allow seamless integration of their digital fiduciary services into other financial products, enhancing the overall value proposition for their clients.

The company also offers BitPension, a digital asset pension plan designed for both individuals and enterprises, which includes tax and estate planning. Positioned as a strategic ally, First Digital Trust builds bespoke solutions to support the strategic goals of their partners, rather than treating them as mere customers.
