Custody by Blockfort · Switzerland

Why Sterling

Liquidity without leaving custody.

Trading usually means moving assets onto an exchange and accepting custody risk to get execution. Sterling routes orders across global venues for best execution while settlement lands back in segregated custody — liquidity and safekeeping, not a trade-off.

Questions

What desks ask first.

Your assets stay in Blockfort's regulated Swiss custody before and after a trade. Sterling routes and executes orders, but every fill — exchange, OTC, or escrow — settles back into your segregated Blockfort account, so you don't take on exchange custody risk to get execution.

Best execution means Sterling routes your order across global venues to seek the best available price and terms, rather than executing on a single exchange. Large orders can also be handled off-book through the OTC desk for discreet pricing and settlement.

Sterling's OTC desk is built for institutional block sizes handled off-book. Specific minimums depend on the asset and venue and are discussed with the desk during onboarding rather than published.

Yes. Sterling includes on- and off-ramp for fiat in and out, integrated with custody and compliance so that ramping and settlement stay within the regulated flow.

Blockfort holds the assets. Sterling executes and settles, but Panthea never takes possession — assets remain with the Swiss-regulated custodian throughout.
