Institutional clients at Anchorage Digital can now easily create an estate planning trust optimized for digital assets through our partner, Two Ocean Trust. Two Ocean’s new trust offering, COIN Trust — Short for Crypto Optimized Irrevocable Non-grantor Trust — is the first of its kind digital asset estate planning solution that brings together the benefits of an established trust and estate planning structure with one of the most advanced and secure digital asset custody platforms.

From a security perspective, Anchorage Custody has been engineered specifically to avoid key person risk, as well as any other single point of failure common to custodial models that rely on physical safekeeping and key redundancy as proxies for security. Beyond plans for securing digital assets, it’s important to have a plan for transferring control of those assets to an heir or other beneficiary in the event of an emergency. While a will is often good enough for determining where most assets will end up, for more complex situations, high-net worth individuals have regularly turned toward a trust, which enables them to better protect and maximize their assets by having them properly held and managed for their beneficiaries.

COIN Trust represents an important evolution for digital asset holders who can now realize the same private client experience for their digital wealth as they can with traditional assets. It brings together the best of the Anchorage platform and Two Ocean’s established trust structure to create the most secure and forward-thinking solutions for estate planning in the digital asset space.
