Crypto Wealth: Binance moves to help ultra-wealthy invest big in crypto
Summary
Binance is introducing 'Binance Prestige,' a new service designed to facilitate significant cryptocurrency investments from ultra-high-net-worth individuals and family offices. Catherine Chen, Binance’s head of VIP and Institutional, noted that many traditional banks lack the infrastructure to support large-scale crypto investments beyond ETFs, creating an opportunity for Binance. The service will provide a 'white-glove' approach, including personalized onboarding, fiat-to-crypto bridging, and tailored investment strategies based on client risk profiles. Binance Prestige will also offer access to yield-generating products like Binance Earn, while acknowledging that DeFi may be too risky for this clientele. Custody options will range from utilizing Binance’s security standards to third-party custodians and banking tri-party arrangements, addressing a key concern for high-value investors. The platform aims to provide sophisticated financial instruments and cater to the growing demand for crypto among the world’s wealthiest individuals, and may eventually include wealth succession planning.
