Company Overview
About Fireblocks
Fireblocks is a New York City-based digital asset infrastructure platform — backed with $1.04+ billion in total funding at an $8 billion valuation (January 2022) — providing 1,800+ institutional customers including BNY Mellon, Revolut, Worldpay, BNP Paribas, and Galaxy Digital with enterprise-grade digital asset custody, transfer, and operations through Multi-Party Computation (MPC) key management combined with hardware chip isolation security. Since inception, Fireblocks has secured $4+ trillion in digital asset transactions and created 130+ million wallets. In 2024, Fireblocks received a NYDFS qualified custodian charter and processed $60 billion in DeFi transactions. In October 2025, Fireblocks acquired Dynamic for $90 million — a developer-first wallet infrastructure platform supporting 50+ million onchain accounts for clients including Kraken, Zerohash, and Magic Eden — expanding institutional infrastructure into developer-accessible Web3 wallet tooling. Founded in 2018 by Michael Shaulov (CEO), Pavel Berengoltz, and Idan Ofrat.
Business Model & Competitive Advantage
Fireblocks' MPC-based custody architecture addresses the private key management challenge that has caused catastrophic losses in the institutional digital asset industry: traditional crypto custody requires storing private keys either on hardware devices (offline cold storage with operational inaccessibility) or internet-connected hot wallets (accessible but vulnerable to compromise). MPC key management (splitting private keys cryptographically such that no single party ever holds the complete key, requiring threshold signatures across Fireblocks' infrastructure, the institution's servers, and mobile device confirmation) eliminates the single point of compromise that made exchange hacks possible — while enabling real-time transaction authorization at the speed institutional trading operations require. The hardware chip isolation layer (executing the MPC computation inside secure Intel SGX enclaves) provides the tamper-resistant security that institutional compliance teams require for regulatory approval of digital asset custody operations.
Competitive Landscape 2025–2026
In 2025, Fireblocks competes in the institutional digital asset custody, digital asset operations infrastructure, and Web3 wallet infrastructure market with Anchorage Digital (OCC-chartered digital asset bank, $350M raised), BitGo (digital asset trust company, $700M raised), and Coinbase Prime (NASDAQ: COIN, institutional custody and trading) for bank, fintech, and institutional asset manager digital asset custody, staking, and tokenization infrastructure adoption. The NYDFS qualified custodian charter provides the regulatory status that institutional asset managers and registered investment advisers require to hold digital assets in custody at Fireblocks. The Dynamic acquisition expands Fireblocks from pure institutional custody into the developer and fintech market for self-custodial wallet creation and onchain account management. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing the tokenization platform (banks issuing tokenized bonds, money market funds, and securities on blockchain using Fireblocks' infrastructure), expanding the stablecoin payment capabilities, and integrating Dynamic's wallet SDK into the institutional platform for enterprise Web3 product development.

In traditional payments, transaction privacy is the default. Banks don’t broadcast your wire transfers to the world and payment processors don’t publish merchant transaction volumes in real-time for competitors to analyze. But on blockchain? Transparency is the baseline, and privacy is something you have to engineer. While transparency is blockchain’s superpower for auditability and trust, […] The post The Blockchain Privacy Problem (Almost) Nobody Talks About appeared first on Fireblocks .
