For Financial Advisers

Your clients already hold digital assets. Most of it sits on an exchange or on a hardware wallet in a drawer, outside your reporting, outside your risk framework and outside their estate plan. Vield brings that holding somewhere you can see it, report on it and advise around it.

Safekeeping

A segregated vault for each client, one wallet per asset, held with Zodia Custody Australia in institutional-grade cold storage. Never commingled, never rehypothecated, and insured while held. An executor can reach the asset, and you can report on it.

Bitcoin-backed lending

A client borrows Australian dollars against the Bitcoin they hold, without selling it. It funds a property deposit, a tax bill or working capital while the client keeps the position, and Vield holds an ATO private ruling on the capital gains treatment of its own arrangement.

OTC trading

When a client needs to move real size in or out of Bitcoin, Vield’s desk quotes a firm all-in price agreed before the trade and works it as a single block. No order book to push through, and a named dealer rather than a self-serve exchange screen.

Bring the holding inside the advice relationship

For most advisers the problem is not whether digital assets belong in a portfolio. It is that the client already owns them, they sit outside the adviser’s view, and nobody has asked what happens to them if the client dies tomorrow.

Vield is an Australian business, lending since 2023, with client assets held by Zodia Custody Australia. Leave your details below and our team will walk you through how each of the three services works, what to ask a client about their current arrangements, and where the risks sit.

"In institutional custody, the operational standards around how an asset is held are everything. Vield has built their product around those standards from the start. For borrowers pledging Bitcoin, that's the question they should be asking first."

What your clients get

Segregated custody

A vault for each client with one wallet per asset, held in institutional-grade cold storage with Zodia Custody Australia. Assets are never pooled with another customer, and the client remains the legal and beneficial owner throughout.

Never rehypothecated

Vield does not lend, stake or reuse a client’s digital assets. They stay untouched, and the holding can be verified on-chain at any time.

Insured while held

Customer's Bitcoin is held in segregated cold storage with Zodia Custody Australia, supported by Zodia Custody Australia's multi-layered insurance programme.

Visible and reportable

The client sees the holding on the platform and on the blockchain, and statements evidence and value it. That is what lets a digital asset appear alongside the rest of a portfolio rather than sitting invisibly outside it.

Reachable by an estate

An executor can administer the vault through Vield, with statements to evidence the holding, so the asset passes to the estate rather than becoming unrecoverable.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP, with other digital assets supported on request. Lending is against Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Zodia Custody Australia, in institutional-grade cold storage. Vield does not hold client assets itself, and the custody insurance is provided through Zodia Custody Australia rather than by Vield.
No. Vield provides custody, lending and execution services, not financial product advice, and does not consider a client’s objectives, financial situation or needs. The advice relationship stays yours.
Borrowing against an asset is not selling it. Vield holds an ATO private binding ruling on the capital gains treatment of its own arrangement, and that ruling binds the Commissioner only for the applicant it was issued to. The detail, and its limits, are set out for accountants on our hub for tax advisers.
