Data verified on unchanged since the sources

Worth it if you're an institutional client seeking Swiss-regulated custody (VQF license) with Fireblocks infrastructure and institutional cold storage.

Avoid it if you're an end consumer or weigh track record heavily: it's a B2B service founded in 2025 with still-limited adoption.

Blockfort is a Swiss digital-asset custodian offering institutional custody, staking, embedded wallets and trading to fintechs, enterprises and platforms. Its infrastructure builds on Fireblocks technology and operates under a VQF licence (a FINMA-recognised SRO) obtained in 2025. Products include the Vault (institutional cold storage hosted in Switzerland), the Embedded Wallet and an NFT custody service on Tezos/Etherlink.
