FalconX to be the First Custodian Supporting Avail Token Ahead of the Avail DA Mainnet Launch

NEW YORK, June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- FalconX, the leading institutional digital asset prime broker, is excited to announce that it will be the first provider to offer custody support for $AVAIL. This collaboration comes ahead of Avail's highly anticipated Avail DA mainnet launch.

Through its custody solution, FalconX will provide institutional-grade custodial wallets to support Avail from day one. This allows institutional investors to engage with the Avail ecosystem immediately at launch.

"Our partnership with Avail aligns with our commitment to supporting protocols with our comprehensive prime services", said Ben Dapkiewicz, General Manager, Custody at FalconX. "By being the first to offer custody support for Avail, we leverage our full-service offering of market making, custody and treasury management to scale token projects and ensure a seamless, secure experience for our clients."
