This lets them manage capital more efficiently while enjoying asset safety. Hence, the integration of Cactus Oasis turns KuCoin Institutional into a comprehensive hub for transparent and compliant digital asset trading. While discussing the integration, Cactus Custody’s General Manager, Wendy Jiang, said that the firm’s mission is to consistently accelerate digital asset activities while guaranteeing institutional-level security.
