[BDACS Growth Assessment]

• Broadening Custody Scale via Tailored Solutions While Simultaneously Driving Global Footprint

Digital asset infrastructure specialist BDACS is actively diversifying its revenue model by expanding its custody services targeted at corporate clients and high-quality digital assets. Amid prolonged delays in the institutionalization of digital assets, the firm is preemptively strengthening its operational infrastructure and asset security to secure long-term market leadership.

According to industry sources, BDACS is rapidly accelerating its business restructuring around a highly reliable, enterprise-centric model.

Scaling Enterprise Storage and Asset Management via Institutional-Grade Controls

At the center of this expansion is BDACS’s “Prime Custody Solution,” an integrated infrastructure designed to align with the bespoke business models and investment strategies of corporate and institutional investors. The solution continually expands enterprise-friendly features, including Multi-Party Computation (MPC) wallet asset management, granular trading and withdrawal policies, rigorous permission controls, comprehensive audit trails, and dedicated corporate accounting and reporting.

Furthermore, the platform offers an all-in-one ecosystem enabling institutional clients to generate yield through staking and seamlessly deploy assets across Over-The-Counter (OTC) desks, Centralized Finance (CeFi), and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) networks globally.

To guarantee ironclad reliability, BDACS recently obtained the “SOC 1 Type 2” certification through global accounting firm KPMG, verifying that its internal control systems effectively prevent any material impact on client financial reporting. The firm is on track to secure its “SOC 2 Type 2” certification within the first half of this year, establishing a powerful security benchmark that satisfies the stringent standards of traditional institutional finance.

Intensifying Focus on High-Quality, Blue-Chip Digital Assets

BDACS plans to continuously expand its custody footprint with a strategic focus on high-quality digital assets. According to the firm, the vast majority of its assets under custody consist of verified, blue-chip assets such as Bitcoin. This concentration indicates that corporate and institutional clients are prioritizing proven assets over highly volatile altcoins. By cementing this corporate-focused and blue-chip-centric asset structure, BDACS aims to aggressively scale its long-term assets under custody.

“Institutional investors and corporate clients now demand a custody infrastructure optimized for asset management strategies and rigorous internal controls, moving far beyond simple asset storage,” a BDACS representative stated. The representative added, “Reflecting these market shifts, we are transitioning into an institutional digital asset infrastructure provider, expanding our business to deliver integrated operational infrastructure for exchanges, asset managers, project foundations, and fintech enterprises.”

Simultaneous Global Expansion and Absolute Market Leadership

This operational confidence stems from aggressive global expansion efforts. BDACS maintains a strategic partnership with Woori Bank, co-developing integrated financial models such as global custody services.

These initiatives have yielded significant milestones. Driven by a major influx of global corporate clients from the United States and Japan, BDACS’s Assets Under Custody (AUC) have grown substantially. This growth is particularly notable given the recent global economic slowdown, which has caused a sharp decline in overall regional custody volumes. BDACS has successfully captured 26.7% of the total domestic digital asset custody market, cementing its absolute market leadership as the largest player in the industry and driving an upward trajectory in financial performance.

“Even as the custody industry matures, domestic and international players continuously choose BDACS, proving that our Prime Custody Solution fully aligns with global standards,” the representative emphasized.

While comprehensive digital asset legislation remains pending, the firm is preparing for potential shifts as regulatory authorities evaluate guidelines for institutional market participation.

“Regulatory clarity is a critical factor for enterprise adoption, meaning some market players may initially approach the sector conservatively,” noted the BDACS representative. “However, as major global economies progressively establish clear digital asset legal frameworks, the direction of South Korea’s policy will naturally clarify. In the meantime, our priority remains to lock in market trust by proactively maintaining global-standard compliance and robust internal controls.”
