A Real-World Milestone on the Road to Institutional Digital Asset Infrastructure
In late 2024, Aegis Custody hosted a Digital Assets Custody Demonstration Conference, bringing together more than 10 leading banks and brokers to explore what secure, compliant digital asset infrastructure looks like in practice.
This wasn’t just another panel or pitch deck — it was a fully functional showcase of how digital assets could be custodied, signed, approved, and reconciled under real-world operational and regulatory conditions.
Inside the Demonstration
The event offered participating institutions a hands-on experience of:
- Cold and hot wallet workflows built on HSMs
- Multi-role operational flows, from front office to back office
- Biometric and hardware-based approvals
- Compliance tools, including KYT, address whitelisting, and deposit quarantine
- Real-time API integrations for transaction monitoring and user-level wallet operations
Participants didn’t just observe — they tested use cases, asked technical questions, and validated how this infrastructure could work inside their own operations.
Laying the Foundation for DACC
This conference was more than a technology demo — it was a turning point.
The feedback, learnings, and institutional buy-in gathered during this event played a direct role in shaping DACC (Digital Asset Clearing Company) — the post-trade infrastructure company now providing production-ready custody, tokenisation, and settlement services to regulated financial institutions.
DACC was created to take everything validated in that room — from secure custody logic to compliance tooling — and make it live, scalable, and governed.
Market Readiness, Proven on the Ground
The Custody Demonstration Conference sent a strong message to the market:
Digital asset infrastructure is no longer conceptual — it’s operational.
Through events like this, Aegis Custody helped accelerate Hong Kong’s transition from policy vision to market execution. DACC continues that mission — not in a lab, but in production.
