India – 17th March 2026: CoinSwitch, India’s largest crypto investment and trading platform, today announced the launch of a crypto custody solution, DigiVault, purpose-built for High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs), Family Offices, Institutions, and for Web3 Enterprises to build next generational applications.
As crypto adoption accelerates in India, participation is expanding beyond retail and emerging use cases such as tokenization of real-world assets. However, the absence of robust, locally aligned custody infrastructure has emerged as a critical industry gap. DigiVault is designed to bridge this gap by combining global-grade security, deep local regulatory alignment, enterprise-grade governance, and tokenization-ready infrastructure, enabling secure custody for India’s evolving digital economy.
Commenting on this, Mr Ashish Singhal, Co-founder, CoinSwitch said, “Over the last 12–18 months, we’ve seen a clear shift in India’s crypto ecosystem as it enters a more mature phase, driven by increasing participation from HNIs, family businesses, and enterprises. Regulatory clarity is improving, enterprise interest is rising, and custody has become foundational. At the same time, tokenization is emerging as a powerful new use case. With DigiVault, we are building core digital asset infrastructure for India to empower the next phase of responsible crypto adoption. Though retail remains central to CoinSwitch’s ecosystem, with DigiVault we are expanding the platform’s capabilities to serve HNIs, Family Offices, Institutions, and Web3 enterprises.”
He added, “This infrastructure was initially built to serve our internal requirements, as India’s largest crypto platform. However, growing demand from our HNIs, Family Offices and Institutional clients for a secure, compliant, and India-first custody solution led us to open this platform externally”.
Built India-first, DigiVault focuses on aligning custody infrastructure with Indian regulatory expectations and enterprise governance standards, while maintaining global security benchmarks.
DigiVault has collaborated with Fireblocks, an enterprise platform for secure digital asset custody. Having secured over $10 trillion in digital asset transactions across more than 150 blockchains, Fireblocks leverages advanced Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology to eliminate single points of failure and deliver industry-leading protection against evolving cyber threats.
For individuals and HNIs, DigiVault enables long-term secure storage and controlled withdrawal mechanisms. For institutions, including corporates, funds, and family offices, the platform offers advanced treasury management, policy-based controls, multi-level approvals, and audit-ready operational processes. For Web3 builders and developers, DigiVault provides custodial wallet infrastructure and APIs to support faster, safer, and more efficient product development, backed by round-the-clock local customer support.
Additionally, with growing demand for tokenization, DigiVault also enables partners to securely onboard assets, tokenize, distribute, and manage the entire lifecycle on a single, integrated platform, simplifying operations while ensuring security, compliance, and scalability.
DigiVault follows a compliance-first approach and adheres to FIU-IND guidelines and India’s PMLA requirements, with strong KYC, AML, transaction monitoring, and audit-ready reporting frameworks to ensure secure and transparent crypto operations for institutions and HNIs.
The launch of DigiVault marks a strategic step for CoinSwitch toward building a full-stack crypto platform spanning investing, trading, and institutional-grade custody. With this, the platform aims to establish a trusted custody backbone for India’s digital asset economy.
DigiVault is a digital asset custody and infrastructure platform that enables institutions and individuals to securely build, manage, and scale blockchain operations. Part of the PeepalCo ecosystem, spanning traditional finance, including the SEBI-regulated investing platform Lemonn, and digital assets, DigiVault combines global-grade security with deep expertise in the Indian market. Built on CoinSwitch’s proven infrastructure, it supports a wide range of digital assets, backed by robust, institutional-grade security and operational safeguards.
