Cregis

What Cregis Does

Cregis is an enterprise digital asset infrastructure platform founded in Hong Kong in 2017 by Shawn Yan, an early Bitcoin investor and blockchain developer. The company builds the operational backbone that businesses need to handle cryptocurrency at scale — custodying assets, processing payments, and giving compliance teams the controls they need without forcing companies to build wallet and settlement infrastructure from scratch.

After nearly a decade of operations, Cregis reports safeguarding over $300 billion in transactions, managing more than 100 million wallet addresses, and handling an average daily transaction volume above $100 million. The company serves more than 4,000 businesses across 50+ countries, with offices in Hong Kong (headquarters, recently relocated to a new space in Wan Chai), Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Dubai, and São Paulo.

Core Products

Self-Custodial MPC Wallet and WaaS

At the center of the Cregis stack is a multi-party computation (MPC) wallet implementation that fragments private keys across encrypted layers so no single party — including Cregis — ever holds the complete key. This architecture eliminates single points of failure while preserving institutional-grade key management. Businesses can deploy the wallet layer through Cregis's Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) offering, which exposes APIs and SDKs in Java, Go, PHP, and C# for integration into existing systems. The WaaS tier supports 40+ blockchain networks. Cregis's open-source Rust wallet SDK on GitHub explicitly includes Solana alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron.

Payment Engine

The Payment Engine is built for cross-border treasury flows with T+0 settlement, built-in AML monitoring, and a developer API for programmatic collections, payouts, and reconciliation. Stablecoin settlement over USDT and USDC is a primary use case. The engine integrates KYC/AML screening through a partnership with Sumsub and blockchain analytics via Elliptic.

Trust Vault

Introduced in 2025, Trust Vault targets institutional operations that require a dedicated governance layer underneath custody, treasury, payments, stablecoin issuance, and real-world asset (RWA) workflows. It acts as the key management and policy enforcement foundation for the broader Cregis institutional stack.

Crypto Cards and Off-Ramp

Cregis offers virtual and physical crypto cards that convert cryptocurrency balances to fiat at the point of sale, providing access to merchants worldwide and ATM networks. A cross-chain swap module and a TronGas Station — which claims to reduce Tron network fee costs by up to 60% through energy delegation — round out the ecosystem services.

Operations and Security Hub

Enterprise governance tooling includes role-based permissions, customizable workflow and approval policies, transaction analytics, and full account history. These controls are aimed at CFOs, compliance officers, and treasury teams who need audit trails and segregation of duties across large volumes of cryptocurrency movement.

Target Customers

Cregis positions itself for crypto-native businesses and traditional financial services firms moving into Web3. Primary customer segments include cryptocurrency exchanges, over-the-counter trading desks, payment service providers, forex brokers, and Web3 companies. The company has made explicit pushes into Southeast Asian markets through Malaysia Blockchain Week 2025 and into the Middle East through its debut at TOKEN2049 Dubai in May 2025. Appearances at the iFX Cyprus 2025 Expo reinforced a strategy of targeting forex and brokerage operators looking for digital asset payment rails.

Security and Compliance

Cregis holds PCI DSS certification, SOC 2 Type I and Type II attestations, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification. The platform has undergone smart contract auditing by CertiK. The company reports zero security incidents across its operational history — a claim consistent with its self-custody MPC architecture where private keys are never held in full by any single party. Infrastructure is supported through a partnership with Tencent Cloud.

Developer Access

The Cregis developer portal at developer.cregis.com provides quickstart documentation, API references, and SDK downloads. Developers obtain credentials — an API Key, Gateway Server endpoint, and Project Number — through the Cregis PC client and can run test cases against a staging environment before going live. SDK support across Java, Go, PHP, and C# makes the platform accessible to engineering teams across a range of stack backgrounds.

Solana Relevance

Solana is included in Cregis's supported blockchain set through its open-source Rust-based multi-chain wallet SDK, maintained under the 0xcregis GitHub organization. For operators running Solana-based payment flows, stablecoin settlement, or institutional custody on Solana, Cregis offers a self-hosted infrastructure path with MPC key security, compliance tooling, and enterprise governance controls already built in — removing the need to assemble these layers independently.

Recent Developments

In July 2026, Cregis relocated its Hong Kong headquarters to a larger space in Wan Chai, reflecting continued growth. A strategic partnership with AxiomXchange in March 2025 extended institutional-grade wallet infrastructure to another trading platform. The company's ongoing conference presence and active blog through mid-2026 confirm the platform remains commercially active and maintained.
