Digital Security, SPICE, to Benefit from New Support at Coinbase Custody
SPiCE VC, one of the first digital securities in the world, has just announced that its token ‘SPICE’, will now benefit from new support through Coinbase Custody. This partnership will allow investors who hold tokens to have a safe and accessible home to store their SPiCE assets.
This partnership marks a positive trend for digital securities, just last month Coinbase Custody announced support for another digital security pioneer, Blockchain Capital ‘BCAP'.
Custodianship
Custody solutions have long been noted as a major hurdle needed to be cleared, for digital assets of any kind, this is fast becoming an issue of the past.
In the past year, markets have seen the rise of various prominent service providers developing solutions to serve this need. The following are a few of those leading the way for custodial services,
- Coinbase Custody
- Gemini Custody
- Finoa
- TokenSoft Knox Wallet
- Copper
SPiCE Fund
The SPiCE fund is structured to provide investors with access to high-potential startups within the blockchain industry. The following are a few of the companies which populate this fund.
- Securitize
- Bakkt
- Archax
- Lottery.com
SPiCE VC notes that since the fund's creation in 2018 the fund itself has gone on to perform quite well, providing investors with a “value appreciation of 65%”. Unfortunately, this is not reflected in the token price, likely due to the inability to trade the token – SPiCE is currently only available for trading on Openfinance.
