"Now these financial institutions are seeking to rapidly deploy digital asset custody, trading, and tokenization products and are turning to vetted technologies to help them remain at the forefront of this space and securely tap into the global crypto-ecosystem."

With the new partnership, YouHodler will leverage Fireblocks for crypto transactions management and integrations with a number of protocols, including Polkadot, Tezos, and Cardano.
