How does Bridgenix protect customer funds?
Bridgenix uses a layered model combining licensed financial institutions, institutional custody, banking partners, operational controls, and compliance monitoring. Customer fiat transactions are processed through regulated financial infrastructure; Bridgenix is not presented as a deposit-taking bank.
Digital assets are safeguarded through specialist custody infrastructure. Maker-checker approvals, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, AML controls, and risk analysis add independent control layers.
Why does Bridgenix use regulated custodians?
Digital asset custody requires specialised security, governance, disaster recovery, and regulatory oversight. Bridgenix separates responsibilities by focusing on platform, payments, treasury, compliance, and orchestration while a specialist custodian safeguards digital assets.
Which custodian does Bridgenix use and who is Cactus Custody?
Bridgenix works with Cactus Custody, an institutional digital asset custodian serving financial institutions, exchanges, asset managers, and enterprise clients.
Cactus Custody holds licences in Hong Kong and Singapore, and eligible assets may benefit from insurance coverage of up to USD 50 million through OneInfinity by OneDegree, subject to policy terms and covered risks.
Important: Custody licensing, eligible assets, and insurance coverage are subject to current agreements, policy terms, limits, and exclusions.
How are digital assets safeguarded?
Safeguarding combines institutional custody, secure key management, wallet controls, whitelisting, approval workflows, operational governance, independent security controls, and ongoing monitoring.
Transactions are screened before settlement. On-chain analysis, sanctions screening, AML procedures, behavioural monitoring, and manual review help identify fraud, sanctioned wallets, ransomware, stolen funds, and other high-risk activity.
