Coinbase Custody is a custodial service for institutional investors with big money. It’s chartered in New York State and designed to give clients a highly secure way to store large amounts of cryptocurrency.
First getting the nod from Coinbase is OriginTrail (TRAC), whose native token powers a data management system that helps businesses and organizations securely store and manage critical information in a fully decentralized manner.
The TRAC token is designed to be used to pay for data processing and storage fees on the network.
Function X (FX) touts itself as a next-generation pioneer for the financial space, bridging the gap between traditional investing and the possibilities offered by blockchain technology. The FX token runs on Ethereum.
Also joining the Coinbase cold wallet roster is Ethereum Name Service (ENS) which allows people to mint non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that can be linked to Ethereum addresses and web domains.
According to the project website,
“The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a distributed, open, and extensible naming system based on the Ethereum blockchain.
ENS’s job is to map human-readable names like ‘alice.eth’ to machine-readable identifiers such as Ethereum addresses, other cryptocurrency addresses, content hashes, and metadata.”
