Pour télécharger les guides de Board Project, le collectif que j’ai co-fondé, consacrés à la gouvernance des start-ups et scale-ups : le premier porte sur ce qui fait vraiment une gouvernance efficace (prise de décision, rôle du board, signaux d’alerte) et le second sur la rémunération des administrateurs indépendants, avec des benchmarks, des modèles concrets et des règles claires.

In this episode, Gerry Afentakis, Managing Director Europe at Zodia Custody, walks us through what it really means to offer institutional-grade custody for digital assets. We discuss Zodia’s origins within Standard Chartered’s futurist lab, the operational and regulatory layers needed to gain trust from banks and asset managers, and how custody today goes far beyond storing keys.

Key Topics:

• What custody means in the crypto world (vs TradFi)
• Who the clients are: banks, funds, family offices, trading houses
• Zodia’s hybrid tech stack: proprietary + partners like DFNS
• Regulation: VASP registration and why it matters
• The difference between service providers like Fireblocks vs regulated custodians
• How custody providers are evolving beyond safekeeping toward utility and scale
• Why “not your keys, not your crypto” doesn’t work for institutions

An essential episode for anyone navigating the complex and often misunderstood infrastructure behind institutional crypto adoption.
