Bybit and Zodia Custody Partner to Enhance Asset Security
Article Source: Bybit
Zodia Custody, an institutional-grade digital asset platform backed by Standard Chartered, Northern Trust, SBI Holdings, National Australia Bank, and UAE-based NCB, has officially partnered with Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, to jointly provide secure, segregated custody, and off-exchange settlement services to Bybit's institutional clients.
When venturing into the digital asset space, institutional investors require regulatory compliance and robust security measures to safeguard their capital. As industry requirements continue to escalate, the market is increasingly seeking more reliable infrastructure to address potential risks in exchange settlement, including centralized control and counterparty risk.
Zodia Custody's Interchange solution is built on regulatory-grade infrastructure and provides independent asset custody to address the aforementioned security issues. Through Interchange, institutional users can immediately deploy funds for trading on Bybit, while their assets remain securely held at Zodia Custody—ensuring full isolation, zero commingling, and significantly reducing exchange risk exposure. This design mitigates counterparty risk, and users no longer need to pre-fund their exchange accounts, enhancing capital efficiency and operational integrity.
This partnership elevates the security and compliance standards in the digital asset trading space, enabling institutional clients to benefit from the security of Zodia Custody's off-exchange settlement while utilizing Bybit's top-tier trading infrastructure.
Julian Sawyer, CEO of Zodia Custody, commented, "What institutional clients need is not just speed—they need to know that their assets are securely held off the exchange and fully within their control. As industry-leading institutions, Zodia Custody and Bybit have a shared responsibility to provide tailored solutions to enhance security and protect capital for the institutions using our services. This is exactly what our partnership offers. Through Interchange, we help Bybit's clients unlock trading liquidity without compromising custody standards, counterparty risk, or capital efficiency. This is custody and settlement designed for institutions, not retrofitted for cryptocurrencies."
Shunyen Jan, Head of Institutional and Derivatives at Bybit, added, "At Bybit, our mission is to deliver institutional-grade solutions that meet the evolving needs of sophisticated investors. Our collaboration with Zodia Custody underscores our commitment to compliance, security, and innovation in the digital asset space. Zodia Custody's well-established reputation as a trusted, highly regulated custodian makes it an ideal partner to safeguard our clients' assets while enhancing capital efficiency. Together, we are setting new standards and driving institutional adoption of digital assets."
Zodia Custody is SOC 1 Type I and II certified, fundamentally institution-built, serving globally regulated financial institutions, government entities, crypto platforms, and hedge funds in specific markets, delivering scalable trust, transparency, and uncompromising security.
This partnership marks a decisive shift in the crypto market towards secure, compliant infrastructure—where institutions can finally operate efficiently without compromising on security.

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading
In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.
As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.
The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy TradingFor elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.
To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.
The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.
By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× LeverageIn a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.
Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.
This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.
A Mature Foundation for GrowthThe synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
