Fireblocks, a leading cryptocurrency custody provider, has launched a comprehensive Web3 services suite designed to give institutional clients seamless access to decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and blockchain gaming. The new offering, already adopted by several prominent industry players, marks a major expansion of Fireblocks' capabilities beyond traditional custody.
Core Features: Liquidity Aggregation and NFT Minting
According to the announcement, the Web3 suite enables customers to tap into liquidity from both centralized and decentralized exchanges, mint and trade NFTs, and manage in-game assets for blockchain-based games. It supports direct connections to major marketplaces such as OpenSea, Rarible, Uniswap, and Dydx. Initially tested on the now-defunct Terra blockchain, the service now supports 35 different blockchains, including both EVM-compatible chains (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon) and non-EVM chains (e.g., Solana).
Partners Onboarded: Animoca Brands, MoonPay, and More
Fireblocks revealed that Animoca Brands, Stardust, MoonPay, Xternity Games, Griffin Gaming, Wirex, Celsius, and Utopia Labs have already integrated the suite. These partners can now securely access DeFi liquidity and build institutional-grade applications in gaming and NFTs. Michael Shaulov, CEO and co-founder of Fireblocks, stated: The goal is to bring all the security arsenal and capabilities we‘ve built for empowering financial firms to operate with crypto to this new group of players.
Strategic Context: From Custody to Web3 Infrastructure
Fireblocks already serves over 1,200 institutional clients and has secured more than $2.5 trillion in digital assets. The Web3 suite aims to reach new customer segments—such as blockchain game developers, NFT issuers, and DeFi protocols—that traditional custody could not address. In a blog post on May 4, the company emphasized: The next generation of gaming will likely involve NFTs and crypto on some level – the question is when and how, not if.
This underscores Fireblocks’ long-term bet on Play-to-Earn models.
As DeFi, NFTs, and blockchain gaming continue to converge, Fireblocks’ entry could bring institutional-grade compliance, security, and liquidity to these emerging sectors, accelerating the mainstream adoption of Web3.
