GCEX Expands Partnership with Hex Trust to Enhance Institutional Asset Security

​GCEX Group, a regulated digital prime brokerage, has announced an expanded collaboration with Hex Trust, a licensed provider of digital asset custody and staking services. This extension introduces a Secured Accounts service, aiming to strengthen the security framework for institutional clients such as hedge funds, asset managers, and brokers.

The partnership enables GCEX to utilize Hex Trust's custody platform to offer Secured Accounts to clients in the EU and UK. This service ensures assets are fully segregated and compliant with regulatory standards. Lars Holst, CEO of GCEX, highlighted the importance of this development: "Our Secured Accounts service addresses a critical need for institutional clients by providing a robust mechanism for safeguarding assets, with security as a core priority."

Giorgia Pellizzari, Head of Custody at Hex Trust, emphasized the enhanced protection this collaboration provides: "Our fully-licensed, bank-grade custody platform, coupled with our robust security measures, ensures that clients' assets are protected at all times."

This marks a milestone in the three-year partnership between GCEX and Hex Trust. Previously, the two companies have worked together to offer secure staking services across various networks, including ETH, TIA, INJ, and DYM. Hex Trust currently serves over 270 institutional clients and maintains a presence in key markets such as Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai.
