Evidence reviewed
Regulation / role

Ledger Enterprise explicitly positions its platform as infrastructure for institutions and custodians, including self-custody deployment models.

Security assurance

Ledger Enterprise documents hardware-enforced security and, in 2026, an HSM On-Premise architecture that keeps the signer HSM and master seed inside the client data center with no Ledger access to the signing keys.

Asset protection

The model is designed to let institutions retain control of signing keys and governance. Legal asset segregation and insolvency treatment belong to the institution/custodian operating the technology.

Institutional services

Ledger Enterprise provides institutional digital-asset infrastructure for self-custody, client custody operations, governance and settlement workflows.

Procurement caveat: Technology-provider review, not proof that Ledger Enterprise is the legal third-party custodian. Confirm who controls keys and which regulated entity safeguards client assets.
