Binance offers turn-key 'crypto-as-a-service' solution for trad institutions looking to offer trading, custody, compliance services

Crypto exchange Binance is launching a new white-label infrastructure solution for traditional institutions. It's so-called Crypto-as-a-Service regulated financial institutions and brokerage firms "seamlessly offer crypto trading services to their clients."

According to the announcement on Monday, Binance’s end-to-end protected CaaS service taps the exchange's backend infrastructure to provide support for new spot and futures trading, liquidity, custody, compliance, and settlement features.

"Importantly, institutions retain full control over their front-end user experience, brand, and client relationships, while significantly reducing the time, cost, and complexity of building crypto capabilities in-house," Binance said in a statement. 

The move comes amid accelerated interest in the crypto sector as U.S. regulators and legislators make strides to formalize rules and encourage global competition, following President Donald Trump's mandate to make the United States a crypto hub. Banks and brokerages alike are begging to look into offering crypto trading and custody services directly or form relationships with existing providers.

Binance’s new offering will begin to roll out in September, with full support expected to be operational by the end of 2026, according to the announcement.

Specifically, in terms of trading, CaaS customers can "match orders directly between their own clients where 'best-price matching' is available internally," apparently an offering exclusive to Binance. CaaS also taps Binance's global orderbook, providing better execution, tighter spreads, and more trading pairs.

Moreover, Binance's "Client Management" offering as part of the Crypto-as-a-Service suite speaks to the potential for wealth managers offering more personalized crypto portfolio management. "Through an intuitive management dashboard, institutions can segment clients, apply tailored fee markups, and craft personalized trading experiences, enabling a targeted, tiered engagement model that drives client acquisition and retention," the exchange wrote.

"The demand for digital assets is growing faster than ever, and traditional financial institutions can no longer afford to be on the sidelines,” Catherine Chen, head of VIP and institutional at Binance, said. “However, building crypto capabilities from scratch is complex, costly, and can be risky. That's why we created Crypto-as-a-Service — a turn-key solution that provides institutions with trusted, ready-made infrastructure."
