Crypto.com Custody Brings XYO and XL1 Tokens Under Regulated Umbrella
Crypto.com Custody has announced that it will provide institutional-grade custody and liquidity services for XYO and XL1, two tokens from the XYO ecosystem. This development marks XL1's first listing on a major exchange since its token sale.
The custody arrangement allows eligible institutions and high-net-worth clients to store, manage, and swap both tokens without moving assets onto an exchange first. Assets will be held in client-segregated MPC wallets, with private keys protected through multi-party computation that runs inside trusted execution environments.
Crypto.com Custody has a custody structure built around segregation, providing cold storage, audit trails, and access to Crypto.com's institutional liquidity while holdings stay in custody. This setup removes the operational step of transferring funds to an exchange before executing a trade.
The deal gives XYO and XL1 holders a custodian with a growing regulatory footprint behind it, pairing well with Crypto.com's expanding trust bank status. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) gave Crypto.com conditional approval for a national trust bank charter in February 2026.
Citadel Securities invested $400 million in Crypto.com at a $20 billion valuation in July 2026, supporting expansion into tokenized securities and derivatives. Eric Anziani, President and Chief Operating Officer of Crypto.com, stated that the arrangement is meant to keep the XYO ecosystem 'safeguarded' and 'ready for global scale.'
