integrated crypto custody solutions
VISION & MISSION
RISE is a distributed technology company based in London that is led by a group of highly experienced post-trade industry experts. The group builds the most compelling post-trade solutions so clients are ready to embrace the tokenization economy.
Our mission is to optimize post-trade cost, risk, and controls for issuers and investors globally. We build fit-for-purpose solutions for regulated intermediaries, allowing them to establish modernized and distributed infrastructures for traditional asset classes and compliantly integrate emerging crypto asset classes into investment portfolios.
" The post-trade industry is a data management and trust business involving many legitimate parties that perform different regulated functions and manage different risks - That is why distributed ledgers bring substantial benefits "

The result is an implementation process which allows our clients to move forward with confidence.
