Cregis

Cregis is an enterprise-grade digital asset infrastructure company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Hong Kong, offering institutions a unified platform to custody, manage, and transact across more than 40 blockchain networks through MPC-secured wallets, a Wallet-as-a-Service layer, and a stablecoin Payment Engine. Solana is among the supported networks, confirmed by the company open-source anychain-solana Rust library on GitHub.

The Problem It Solves

Enterprises entering crypto face a fractured operational stack: separate custody solutions, compliance tooling, and multi-chain integration overhead. Cregis consolidates this into a single vendor relationship with institutionally audited security and multiple financial licenses, enabling banks, fintech platforms, exchanges, and payment providers to activate on multiple blockchains without building custody infrastructure from the ground up.

Core Mechanism

Cregis secures assets using Multi-Party Computation based on the GG18 protocol. Private key shards are distributed across multiple devices and Trusted Execution Environments, so no single compromised machine can expose funds. Hardware Security Modules meeting FIPS 140 standards add a second hardware isolation layer, ensuring key material never exists in plaintext in software memory. A Sign What You See policy requires operators to verify the exact transaction content before execution, closing off blind-signing attack vectors.

On top of this security base, Cregis supports three deployment modes. The self-custody MPC wallet gives institutional teams collaborative control over key shards with configurable M-of-N signing thresholds. Wallet-as-a-Service exposes a RESTful API with SDKs in Java, Go, PHP, and C#, enabling developers to embed multi-chain wallet functionality into existing products. A desktop application for Mac and Windows serves operators who prefer a GUI over direct API integration.

Key Products

The self-custodial MPC wallet handles address creation, batch generation, balance queries, fund collection, and outbound payouts with multi-layer authentication and policy controls.

The Wallet-as-a-Service product manages the full address lifecycle, detects deposits via asynchronous callbacks, and orchestrates payouts. A mobile app extension stores MPC key shards securely on-device for field operations.

The Payment Engine is a stablecoin orchestration layer supporting collections, payouts, cross-border settlements, and off-ramp conversion to fiat. It offers T+0 real-time settlement and includes a Cross-Chain Swap module handling USDT and USDC across nine major networks.

Trust Vault, launched in 2025, targets regulated financial institutions with hardware-isolated custody covering treasury management, stablecoin issuance, and real-world asset operations.

Cregis Nexus is a privately deployed custody node product built on HSM technology with customizable account models, suited to banks and payment service providers that require on-premises or private-cloud deployments.

A CSPN global remittance layer and cross-chain swap utilities round out the product line for high-volume cross-border use cases.

Supported Assets and Networks

Cregis covers more than 40 blockchain networks. Solana support is confirmed through the company open-source anychain multi-chain Rust SDK on GitHub, which explicitly lists Solana among its supported chains, and through a dedicated anychain-solana repository described as a purpose-built Rust library for Solana wallet operations and transaction construction. Institutional clients can custody SOL and transact on Solana under the same MPC security framework applied across all other chains on the platform.

Security and Compliance

Cregis holds two major compliance certifications: SOC 2 Type I and Type II from AICPA, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Smart contract code has been audited by CertiK. Real-time AML screening runs via Elliptic and Regtank integrations, applying Know Your Transaction and Know Your Address checks to every transaction.

On the licensing side, Cregis holds a US Money Services Business registration and a Hong Kong Trust or Company Service Provider license, acquired in 2025. The company was also pursuing a Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority custody license in Dubai at the same time. Cregis reports a zero-security-incident track record across nine years of operation, with more than 300 billion US dollars in transactions processed.

Team and Background

CEO Shawn Yan founded Cregis in 2017 and is described as an early blockchain industry pioneer. The company operates from five offices across Hong Kong, Dubai, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Sao Paulo, and reported serving over 4,000 institutional clients across more than 50 countries as of 2026. Named clients include Bison Bank, Eddid Financial, ATFX, MH Markets, Interlace, 4Alpha Group, and Luxtak. In 2025, Cregis participated in more than 11 major industry conferences including Consensus Hong Kong, TOKEN2049, Money 20/20 Asia, and Singapore Fintech Festival, and hosted institutional roundtables in partnership with KuCoin Institutional.

Fit in the Solana Ecosystem

Cregis serves the institutional entry point that Solana increasingly needs. Its multi-chain WaaS API lets enterprises add Solana alongside existing Ethereum or Tron operations under a single custody arrangement, without a separate vendor or bespoke key management build. The open-source anychain-solana Rust library additionally positions Cregis as a contributor to Solana developer tooling, offering composable building blocks for wallet construction that other teams can examine and extend. As Solana draws more regulated financial institutions, payment providers, and real-world asset platforms, the compliance-certified and multi-licensed infrastructure Cregis provides becomes an increasingly practical layer for embedding Solana-native transaction flows inside enterprise compliance frameworks.
