Dmitry Tokarev, CEO at Copper, commented: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Matrixport, providing their clients with secure access to a growing number of ClearLoop connected exchanges. This partnership demonstrates our shared commitment to building a more secure, transparent, and accessible financial market infrastructure in the digital asset industry. Copper has implemented a dedicated account structure for ClearLoop to address potential insolvency risks. Clients and exchanges are granted a security interest over their assets within the trust, favouring each other. This includes our innovative bankruptcy remote legal framework where in the event of insolvency, the digital assets held in trust would not be part of Copper’s insolvent estate. Copper’s financial risk team monitors the collateral round the clock, providing an additional layer of assurance.”
