Copper.co, the UK-based crypto services provider, now offers custody and staking support for NEAR, the native asset of NEAR Protocol, the layer one blockchain. The custody integration allows Copper’s institutional clients to securely hold NEAR through its custody platform, which leverages advanced multi-party computation (MPC) cryptography to remove the critical attack vector of private keys. Support for NEAR enables institutional investors to earn yield from participating in securing and validating the network whilst the staked assets remain secure in Copper’s custody.
