Bron Joins the Hashgraph Association to Advance Secure Digital Wealth on Hedera

Bron brings efficient self-custody and digital wealth infrastructure to Hedera's growing financial ecosystem

SCHWYZ, Switzerland, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bron, a next-gen self-custodial platform for securely owning digital assets, has joined The Hashgraph Association's Global Membership Program, growing its presence and support within the Hedera ecosystem. Bron users can already hold and manage HBAR and Hedera-based tokens alongside their broader digital asset portfolios and can also swap Hedera-based assets via Bron's swap interface, where swaps are executed through independent smart contracts and third-party Solvers. Membership in The Hashgraph Association gives Bron a more direct connection to the global network of enterprises, developers, startups and financial innovators building on Hedera.

High-net-worth individuals, founders, businesses and professional financial organizations increasingly need infrastructure that lets them interact directly with on-chain markets while maintaining the security, governance and operational controls expected when managing significant capital.

The Hashgraph Association, a Swiss-based non-profit organization supporting digital enablement, innovation and education on Hedera, has been operating in an environment where digital assets are now embedded in the financial ecosystem, as adoption has matured.

The Bron platform combines self-custody with MPC-based security, sophisticated recovery options, team permissions, transaction controls and support for an expanding range of digital assets and networks. It provides users with control over their assets while reducing the operational risks associated with traditional seed phrase-based self-custody.

"The next phase of digital assets will be defined by far more than the movement of cryptocurrencies between wallets," said Dmitry Tokarev, Founder of Bron. "We are moving towards financial markets in which assets, collateral and settlement increasingly operate on-chain, bringing with them individuals and businesses that expect the same standards of security and control they would demand anywhere else they hold their wealth. Hedera has built infrastructure with the performance and efficiency to play an important role in that transition, which makes joining The Hashgraph Association a natural step for Bron as we continue building for this next generation of digital finance."

"Bron is a strong addition to our global membership community," said Kamal Youssefi, President of The Hashgraph Association. "As on-chain finance becomes more sophisticated, users and businesses need secure, accessible infrastructure that can support real adoption. Bron's focus on digital wealth, governance and self-custody brings an important perspective to the Hedera ecosystem."

The collaboration is expected to support a broader shift in digital finance as stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, digital cash, collateral management and increasingly sophisticated on-chain markets become part of mainstream financial activity.

About Bron

Bron is a private, self-custodial digital wealth platform built for individuals, families and businesses that want greater control over how their assets are held and used. Powered by Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Bron removes the reliance on seed phrases and combines self-custody with secure recovery, privacy, governance and financial controls designed for both individual and multi-user ownership.

Through a single platform, users can manage their own digital assets, connect to third-party providers of tokenised financial instruments and fiat-to-digital currency conversion, and set sophisticated controls over access, approvals and transactions, while retaining sole control of their assets.

Bron was founded by Dmitry Tokarev, an experienced digital asset infrastructure entrepreneur who has spent his career building technology for some of the world's leading financial institutions. Bron brings that experience to a new generation of private wealth infrastructure, designed for a financial system increasingly moving on-chain.

The Bron Foundation supports the long-term development and growth of the Bron ecosystem, fostering an open and sustainable environment for its participants. Its work focuses on education, community engagement, and initiatives that encourage responsible adoption of self-custody and digital asset technologies. It also supports the broader infrastructure, standards and knowledge that allow the ecosystem to evolve.
