The operational agility provided by Rakkar Digital will also allow Maxbit to seamlessly serve its growing user base in an agile and transparent manner.
Rakkar Digital, a qualified digital asset custodian backed by SCB 10X, the investment arm of the Siam Commercial Bank, delivers institutional-grade custody solutions that also employs bank-calibre controls such as asset segregation, bankruptcy remote mechanisms, and asset insurance.

Arthit Sriumporn, Founder and CEO of Rakkar Digital, echoed the sentiment, saying, “As institutional adoption continues to grow as with the recent spot Bitcoin ETF approvals, clarity in regulations and tighter asset security requirements are expected to come. Rakkar Digital, as a trusted and qualified digital asset custodian, envisions to be a strategic growth partner for institutions such as Maxbit to achieve compliance, security, and agility.”
This appointment came shortly after the recent announcement of Rakkar Digital’s appointment by InnovestX Securities as custodian.
