Cobo NFT management has been added to the growing list of custodial services offered to institutional investors by the MetaMask Institutional wallet.
The nonfungible token (NFT) market is seeing a surge in institutional interest. MetaMask Institutional announced another addition to its custodial services offerings for institutional-level clients in response to the influx.
The goal of MetaMask’s collaboration with NFT management and storage provider Cobo is to develop a “all-in-one platform” for big businesses dealing with digital assets.
Despite the fact that MetaMask is a non-custodial wallet for the majority of its users, the institutional branch of the wallet has been embracing custodial partnerships in numerous nations worldwide.
According to Tavia Wong, Cobo’s director of marketing and business development, custodianship not only offers asset protection but also serves as an administrative tool for institutions in particular.
“Because of the high levels of users and different clearance levels, institutions require additional features to avoid internal failures and the consequences of negligence.”
This addition to custodial products stresses accessibility for large investors, despite the fact that wallets like MetaMask have historically been criticized for not being “user friendly.”
With the aid of internal collaboration tools, the new connection enables institutional clients to assign roles to the business. Wong claims that this provides user limits on purchasing, trading, and selling in accordance with the administrator’s approval.
“With multisig access, it ensures that no single entity will be able to control all assets, removing any single point of failure.”
However, the argument between custodial and noncustodial wallets continues to rage.
Noncustodial wallets are frequently looked to for more security and financial independence, with many in the sector espousing the tagline “not your keys; not your coins.”
Custodial wallets, on the other hand, frequently provide a more user-friendly environment as general users without technical expertise continue to enter the field.
Even some users argue against the adage “greater accessibility for easy adoption”
To give their clients an easy on-ramp, traditional financial behemoths like Société Générale, one of the biggest investment banks in Europe, recently opened up crypto asset management services.On September 20, Nasdaq also declared that it would provide cryptocurrency custodial services.
