We are headquartered in Zug, Switzerland - at the heart of the Swiss Crypto Valley.
An exchange matches you against anonymous counterparties on a public order book, with pre-funding, slippage and patchy support. SCRYPT is your direct, licensed counterparty under one unified point of access - aggregating global liquidity for friction-free execution, with dedicated 24/7 support across API, UI, chat and voice.
Yes, SCRYPT operates under two legal entities:
Onboarding timing varies by entity type, jurisdiction and complexity. Most institutions are onboarded quickly after submitting all required documents.
Through a secure API (WebSocket or FIX), our institutional UI, or 24/7 voice and chat execution - whichever fits your workflow.
Through the platform, or your dedicated coverage - a named contact who knows your account. Critical operational matters route straight to the relevant on-call team, 24/7.
Trading is spread-based on spot and OTC, with commission on FIX where applicable. Custody is a tiered fee based on assets held. Asset Management combines management fee with a performance fee depending on mandate type. Stablecoins and FX are priced at quote.
Tailored per client, there is no minimum trade size. Block-size thresholds typically apply for OTC and RFQ flows.
Five order types:
SCRYPT supports 250+ crypto assets and major stablecoins, over 4,000 trading pairs, and 30+ fiat currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, BRL, SGD, AUD and AED.

Client assets are secured with MPC technology, real-time controls, and full regulatory oversight, including CoinCover protection against key loss or theft. Safeguarded, auditable, built for scale.
Custody means SCRYPT holds the keys on the client's behalf, under Swiss regulatory supervision. Self-custody (Access) means the institution holds its own keys, with SCRYPT providing the MPC-secured architecture and managed-backup infrastructure underneath. Custody is the right choice when an institution wants a regulated provider operating the wallets, with trading, settlement and staking executable from connected products. Self-custody is the right choice when the institution would like to maintain the full ownership of the keys and workflows.
