About Us

Cryptocurrencies and other digital assets have emerged as a new asset class in recent years. Their dramatic, albeit volatile, rise in value since 2017 has helped trigger a surge of institutional interest, supported by funds’ need for diversification from traditional currencies and assets, as well as the start of a trend to tokenise existing financial instruments.

More and more funds of all risk appetites are adding exposure to digital assets. Our view is that risk should be limited to the success or failure of an asset, not the operations that support it.

About Thomas Murray Digital

Thomas Murray Digital is the first operational risk solution focused exclusively on the servicing and safekeeping of digital assets. Launching in 2021, it provides institutional service providers and investors – banks, asset managers, hedge funds, asset owners and others – with the information they need to invest confidently in this growing asset class.

Regulation of the sector is still nascent, and it still lacks the infrastructure of traditional asset classes. Thomas Murray Digital provides trusted, independent validation of infrastructures – including exchanges and custodians – ensuring that their capabilities and operational safety satisfy investors’ requirements.

The service draws on our team’s expertise, spanning digital markets, asset management, capital markets, asset servicing and technology.
