(“Netcoins” or the “Company“) (CSE: NETC; OTC: GARLF; WKN: 1WJ) is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive agreement with BitGo Trust Company as custodian for its Netcoins-branded custody solution. Following a software integration phase, Netcoins expects to launch Netcoins Custody in Q1 2019.
Custody is a key component of a full service crypto company and brokerage, and Netcoins has chosen BitGo, the market leader in institutional cryptocurrency financial services, to provide the back end technology and infrastructure required to launch Netcoins Custody.

“We are thrilled to be bringing institutional level crypto custody to the market in Canada with BitGo Trust Company, the first qualified custodian purpose-built for digital assets,” said Netcoins CEO Mark Binns. “Custody is a key component to institutional adoption, and also critical for enabling traditional brokerage houses to sell crypto to their retail investors.
