Switzerland-based METACO SA has announced a partnership with Frankfurt School Blockchain Center (FSBC), a research centre that investigates implications of the blockchain technology, crypto assets and DLT for companies and their business models. The collaboration will enable FSBC to drive METACO’s service offering through R&D and technical support.
Seamus Donoghue, VP Sales & Business Development at METACO said, “METACO is proud to be a partner of the leading organization in Germany and Europe that is transforming the financial services industry through its thought leadership, research, education, and joint industry initiatives. As the leading digital asset infrastructure partner to regulated banks and exchanges, both in Germany and internationally, we see significant synergies through this new partnership to further accelerate the institutional understanding, adoption, and use of crypto assets in Germany and Europe more broadly.”
According to METACO, FSBC will use its technical infrastructure, knowledge and industry network for boosting the former’s service. The research centre will support the company with development in areas of custody and enterprise blockchain.
Founded in 2015, METACO is a provider of security-critical infrastructure enabling financial institutions to enter the digital asset ecosystem. Its SILO solution, the institutional operating system for digital assets, has been implemented by Tier 1 and Tier 2 BaFin, Finma and MAS regulated banks, exchanges, and infrastructure partners. SILO delivers a full-stack solution that is supported by a diverse range of partners from integrated core banking software partners, security solutions, compliance, and trading to tokenization.
Prof. Dr. Philipp Sandner, the Head of FSBC, concluded, “The new partnership between METACO and ourselves brings numerous benefits and synergies for both sides. Whilst METACO benefits from our network and research, especially in the area of custody, we also profit from the fact that we have gained another high-caliber partner from the field of digital finance.”
