[Korbit] The Future of Digital Asset Custody

Summary

본 보고서는 가상자산 커스터디의 개념, 구조, 그리고 미래 전망을 종합적으로 분석합니다. 보고서는 가상자산 커스터디가 전통적인 금융 수탁 서비스와 근본적으로 다르며, 프라이빗 키 관리와 보안 기술이 핵심임을 강조합니다. 또한, 시장의 진화에 따라 다이렉트 커스터디(Coinbase Custody), 기술 제공자(Fireblocks), 하이브리드 모델(BitGo) 등 세 가지 주요 유형을 비교하며 그 특징을 설명합니다. 궁극적으로 커스터디 시장은 디파이(DeFi) 연계, 크로스체인 관리, 실물자산(RWA) 편입, 그리고 전통 금융기관의 본격적인 진입이라는 네 가지 주요 트렌드를 중심으로 통합된 금융 인프라로 재편되고 있다고 분석합니다.

This report comprehensively analyzes the concept, structure, and future outlook of virtual asset custody. It emphasizes that virtual asset custody fundamentally differs from traditional financial custody services, with private key management and security technology being core elements. Furthermore, it compares three major types—direct custody (Coinbase Custody), technology providers (Fireblocks), and hybrid models (BitGo)—and explains their characteristics as the market evolves. Ultimately, the report analyzes that the custody market is being restructured into an integrated financial infrastructure centered around four major trends: integration with DeFi, cross-chain management, incorporation of real-world assets (RWA), and the full-scale entry of traditional financial institutions.
