— Steve Swain

LONDON, UNITED_KINGDOM, May 16, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Lendingblock, the GFSC regulated Digital Asset Lending platform, announced today that Copper.co (“Copper”) will provide digital asset custody and trade execution services to secure its underlying assets.

Steve Swain, Co-Founder and CEO of Lendingblock said, “Entrusting custody of our client’s digital assets to Copper’s award-winning architecture gives us the best security in the market. With this cornerstone in place, we can continue to support our rapidly growing customer base with confidence.”

Copper’s custody uses multi-party computation technology. With MPC, key

shards are formed simultaneously and in isolation, one shard each is entrusted to the client, their trusted third party, and Copper. These shards allow transactions to be signed online without the risk of private key exposure because there is no longer one private key. This largely eliminates the risk of key exposure in online transactions. Lendingblock will also take advantage of Copper’s API enabled eOTC Trading capability, which will allow Lendingblock’s customers to benefit from prices provided by more than thirty underlying exchanges.

Alex Ryvkin, Chief Product Officer of Copper said, “We are delighted to be supporting Lendingblock. Borrowing and earning are a fundamental part of the digital asset ecosystem, and it is a pleasure to be working with Lendingblock as they grow.”
