Where is my crypto held during the loan?
All pledged crypto is held with one of Milo’s approved custodians: BitGo or Coinbase Custody. Both are regulated, institution-grade custodians that specialize in protecting digital assets at scale.
BitGo is a long-standing leader in digital asset custody, known for its multi-signature security protocols, cold storage solutions, and $250 million in insurance coverage underwritten by Lloyd’s of London. Coinbase Custody, a subsidiary of Coinbase, is likewise a regulated custodian that offers segregated cold storage, SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance, and extensive insurance protections for the assets it safeguards.
When you pledge crypto with Milo, a dedicated sub-account is created in your name with the custodian. This structure keeps your assets fully segregated from Milo’s corporate accounts and from other clients’ holdings. By partnering exclusively with trusted custodians that meet the highest security and compliance standards, Milo ensures your crypto remains safe, auditable, and protected for the entire duration of your loan.
