Strengths and weaknesses
Pros	Qualified custody through NYDFS-chartered Fireblocks Trust alongside self-custody software Thousands of assets across more than 200 blockchains SOC 2 Type 2 with zero material findings, plus ISO 27001 and CCSS QSP Level 3 Air-gapped MPC cold wallet and an HSM option (KeyLink) for banks	Client always holds one of three key shards, and Safeheron never holds a full key SOC 2 Type II by a Big Four firm, renewed May 2026, plus ISO 27001:2022 audited by DNV Public pricing, with a Starter plan at $5,750 a year Open-source MPC libraries and an offline key recovery tool
Cons	Key-loss claims from StakeHound and the Celsius plan administrator Licenses are US-only, with no MiCA or other non-US authorization listed Custom plans start at $36,000 a year	No financial license, so it cannot act as a regulated or qualified custodian Routine signing depends on Safeheron's two cloud-hosted shards being online Starter plan caps teams at two and users at three, with 8x5 support
Best for	Exchanges and payment companies building in-house custody, Funds and RIAs that need a New York qualified custodian, Fintechs launching embedded or white-label wallets	Exchanges and payment service providers running hot wallets, OTC desks and brokers that want to keep control of their keys, Funds and asset managers needing MPC treasury wallets
