Menas Global, a diversified international investment and technology group, and Receipts Depositary Corporation (RDC), the first U.S. depositary of Digital Asset Depositary Receipts (DRs),announced a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating institutional adoption of digital assets via traditional capital market infrastructure.

As part of the agreement, Menas Global will make a strategic investment in RDC and work with RDC to distribute RDC's digital asset DR products through its DC Wallet platform. This integration will facilitate enhanced access to digital assets for global financial institutions through established trading, lending, and margin systems without needing to directly handle digital assets.

RDC's Digital Asset Depositary Receipts use the tried and tested Depositary Receipt (DR) structure, which have been part of US markets since 1927, bringing robust capital market frameworks to blockchain-based assets. Each DR represents a bankruptcy remote, direct ownership claim on a particular amount of digital assets, held at a custodian that is federally chartered and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, such as Anchorage Digital Bank, and made available through U.S. registered broker-dealer and banking platforms.

RDC has already launched Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP DRs for qualifying investors. Each of its products functions as a traditional security with a ticker, CUSIP and an ISIN that bridge directly into existing capital market infrastructure. The DR structure is the only traditional wrapper that allows accredited asset owners to directly convert their digital assets to DRs —and vice versa—on an in-kind, intraday basis, differentiating them from ETFs.
