About Fireblocks
Fireblocks is an enterprise platform that provides secure infrastructure for digital asset operations. Its core business covers custody, transfer, settlement, and tokenization, serving financial institutions such as banks, exchanges, and payment companies.
Core strengths: The platform uses Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology to split private keys across multiple nodes, eliminating single points of failure. It supports over 150 blockchains and offers a unified workflow for transaction management, compliance screening, and policy control. Recent additions like Wallet Pools aggregate multiple vault accounts into a single transaction source, rerouting transactions around stuck nonce bottlenecks on EVM chains, which improves operational stability for high-frequency settlement.
Market pain points addressed: Traditional crypto operations face fragmented liquidity across chains, high manual overhead for managing gas fees and nonce sequencing, and slow cross-border settlement reliant on correspondent banking. Fireblocks solves these by providing a single interface for multi-chain transfers, automated balance routing, and direct access to settlement networks like Circle Payments Network for near-instant cross-border payouts.
Development in the past six months (2026-02-28 to 2026-08-29): In February, Fireblocks integrated with Canton to enable privacy-enabled settlement for regulated institutions, expanding its network to 150 chains. In Q2, it integrated Circle Gateway and Circle Payments Network, allowing institutions to manage USDC liquidity across chains from a single balance and settle cross-border payments in local currencies across 50+ countries. In August, it launched Wallet Pools to address nonce-related transaction delays on account-based blockchains. The platform also released updates including batch approvals, Solana multi-destination transactions, and UTXO Manager. No major negative events were reported in the past two years, though the company did not disclose specific performance metrics for Wallet Pools or its chain-specific coverage.
Founded in 2018, Fireblocks provides MPC-based digital asset custody and settlement infrastructure for institutions. In 2019, it completed a $16 million Series A round, marking its formal entry into the market. In 2021, it closed a $310 million Series D led by Sequoia Capital, with valuation surging to $2.5 billion, and later a $550 million Series E at $8 billion, reflecting rapid growth in the crypto bull market. In 2022, Fireblocks acquired First Digital to expand stablecoin payment capabilities and launched the Web3 Engine, signaling a shift from custody to broader digital asset infrastructure. In 2025, it launched Earn, an institutional-grade stablecoin yield tool, addressing growing demand for yield on idle assets. In August 2026, Fireblocks appointed former SEC Acting Chairman Elad Roisman as Chief Regulatory and Policy Officer, a strategic move to strengthen its regulatory engagement amid evolving global frameworks like MiCA and U.S. stablecoin laws. These milestones highlight Fireblocks' evolution from a security-focused startup to a comprehensive institutional infrastructure provider, with regulatory leadership becoming a core competitive advantage.
Fireblocks, an enterprise-grade digital asset infrastructure provider, has seen recent team changes. Jessica Martinez joined in April 2026 as US Policy Director, bringing experience from the Blockchain Association and Congress (). Carolyn Rogers, Product Marketing Director since August 2025, left in August 2026 (). Additionally, Fireblocks appointed former SEC Acting Chair Elad Roisman as Chief Regulatory and Policy Officer and General Counsel, Regulatory, to support stablecoin and tokenisation efforts ().
