INVESTOR RELATIONS
Sovereign Custody
for Digital Assets
Pure custody. Zero conflicts.
Pre-Seed Investment Opportunity
The Problem
Exchange Conflicts of Interest
Coinbase, Kraken, and others trade and lend your crypto for their profit
FTX, Celsius, BlockFi
Structural conflicts — not hacks — destroyed billions in customer assets
Omnibus Wallets
Pooled holdings = your balance is an IOU, unsecured creditor status
Self-Custody Burden
Seed phrases, key management, estate planning — too much risk for serious wealth
No Premium Individual Custody
Institutional custodians require €10M+ minimums; banks don't understand crypto
The market forces a false binary: Trust conflicted exchanges OR shoulder all security risk yourself
The Solution
Soveris creates a new category: Sovereign Custody
Pure Custody Model
No trading. No lending. No staking. We secure your assets — our only business is safekeeping.
Segregated Holdings
Your coins in dedicated on-chain addresses — not pooled in omnibus accounts. Always separate, always yours.
On-Chain Verification
Verify your holdings on the blockchain anytime. Don't trust us — verify us. Merkle-proof transparency.
“Like Degussa for gold, Soveris for digital assets.”
Value Proposition
“Not your keys, but your coins.”
