March 2026 Edition of the Monthly Block from Hex Trust
April 2, 2026
In March 2026, Hex Trust achieved a significant milestone by successfully completing the SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, and CSA STAR Level 2 audits, demonstrating its commitment to the highest standards of operational accountability in the industry. By obtaining these certifications, Hex Trust has positioned itself as a leading authority in digital asset security, replacing the traditional “reconciliation black box” with transparent internal controls.
One of the key highlights of the month was Hex Trust’s strategic partnership with Doppler Finance to develop institutional rewards products for Wrapped XRP (wXRP) across various chains in the ecosystem. This collaboration aims to transform static XRP holdings into productive, reward-bearing collateral for the global decentralized finance (DeFi) economy, emphasizing the importance of interoperability and utility in the digital asset space.
The leadership team at Hex Trust also played a crucial role in shaping the global conversation on market infrastructure throughout March. Alessio Quaglini, the CEO and Co-founder, provided insights into Hong Kong’s regulatory evolution in an analysis for the SCMP, highlighting the importance of regulatory clarity in establishing a world-class digital asset hub. Giorgia Pellizzari, the CPO and Head of Custody, appeared on The Paul Barron Show to discuss the XRP ETF roadmap and the 1:1 backed custody offered by Hex Trust.
Moreover, Rohit Apte, Head of Markets at Hex Trust, contributed to The Corporate Treasurer, discussing the transition of digital assets into high-efficiency treasury instruments. Apte emphasized the shift from price volatility to the structural utility of on-chain assets, underscoring the significance of real-time settlement and custody solutions in enhancing institutional accountability.
Hex Trust’s continuous commitment to institutional accountability was further highlighted by the successful completion of Tier-1 audits, including SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, and CSA STAR Level 2 certifications. These audits validate Hex Trust’s robust internal controls over financial reporting and security measures, instilling confidence in clients to scale their digital wealth strategies securely.
In conclusion, Hex Trust concluded the first quarter of 2026 as a pioneer in establishing a mature, secure, and interoperable on-chain future for digital asset management. Through strategic partnerships, thought leadership, and a steadfast commitment to regulatory compliance, Hex Trust continues to set the standard for institutional adoption and accountability in the digital asset space.
