Our verdict

Fireblocks suits institutions and serious holders who want to hold their own keys across a very wide coin list, not casual buyers on a tight budget. It is a software wallet priced at $999, and it sits at 120 of 121 on price.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Self-custody through self custody with multi-party computation spreading key shares across secure hardware environments.
  • Supports from 1,000 coins, far above the 46 median for wallets.
  • Backed by a New York State Department of Financial Services limited purpose trust company charter, a FinCEN money services business registration and NMLS listings.
  • A software wallet, so there is no device to buy or keep in reach.

Cons

  • The price of $999 puts it at 120 of 121 on price, well above the €0 of most listed wallets.
  • Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line listed.
  • Custody is listed as self custody rather than the self custody and custodial option many buyers expect from a provider.

Who it suits

  • Institutional treasury teams holding a long and varied coin list.
  • Holders who want their own keys and a regulated US entity behind the wallet.
  • Buyers who can absorb a $999 price for the coin coverage.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Trezor, if you want a hardware device that keeps keys offline.
  • VaultLeap, if a mobile wallet and a lighter upfront cost suit you better.
  • eToro, if you would rather hold coins inside a trading platform than in self-custody.

The company behind it

The wallet runs under Fireblocks LLC, with Fireblocks LLC named as the contracting entity. Regulators in the United States include the New York State Department of Financial Services, which granted Fireblocks Trust Company, LLC a limited purpose trust company charter, and FinCEN, which registered it as a money services business. Fireblocks LLC itself also holds an NMLS listing and its own FinCEN registration. Support runs on email, chat and help centre.
