The Vault by Platinum
The Vault by Platinum offers secure, multi-signature architecture that is designed to protect your digital assets and ensure your wealth remains accessible to those you choose.
And with $3.4 billion (£2.46 million) lost to crypto theft worldwide in 2025 alone – losses that are often irreversible – protecting your hard-earned wealth is essential.
Protecting digital assets
"20–25% of all Bitcoin is thought to be permanently inaccessible"
According to Chainalysis, $3.8 billion was stolen through hacks and fraud in 2022 alone.
Succession planning is therefore essential to ensure your hard-earned digital assets are protected, even when there’s no bank manager to call. The Vault by Platinum provides clients with greater security, accountability, and continuity thanks to a multi-signature framework that offers a structured approach to governance without centralised control.
Don’t be one of the estimated 7 million UK investors at risk due to a lack of formal digital inheritance plan. Instead, secure your digital wealth for you and your loved ones, while substantially reducing the risk of cyber-attacks, threats, and losses.
Why Multi-Signature Matters
A multi-signature vault introduces structure and shared oversight to digital asset protection by requiring each transaction to have approval from multiple authorised parties. This has multiple benefits for both you and your loved ones.
Resilience Against Loss
Extra safeguards reduce the risk of human error or misplaced keys
Fraud Protection
Multi-party approval prevents unauthorized access and theft attempts.
Continuity of Inheritance
Assets pass seamlessly to designated heirs, without dispute
Scalable Protection
Flexible architecture can grow with your portfolio needs
How our The Vault works
Where others provide software or documentation, The Vault by Platinum offers an integrated architecture for digital wealth – combining technical resilience with legal oversight, underpinned by the trusted expertise of ETL Global.
When an heir to a £12 million fortune in Bitcoin and Ethereum lost their hardware wallet, recovery protocols in the form of a 5-of-9 multi-signature vault that was set up by our experts ensured the assets remained protected and accessible, without dispute.
01
3-of-5, or 4-of-7 multi-signature models mean that transactions proceed only when consensus is reached, reducing reliance on any single individual or device
02
03
Supervised simulations as annual ‘fire drills’ ensure authorised heirs and executors understand secure access procedures
04
Predefined measures aimed at maintaining access and governance even if multiple keyholders are no longer available help you plan for exceptional scenarios

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take custody of my Bitcoin or Ethereum?
Can Bitcoin and Ethereum be included in a will?
Yes
What happens if heirs lose access?
Our multi-signature architecture includes recovery protocols. If a keyholder loses access, the remaining authorised signers can facilitate recovery through predefined procedures, ensuring assets are never permanently lost.
Why only Bitcoin and Ethereum?
Is this FCA regulated?
Platinum provides governance and security architecture services, not financial advice, or custody. Our legal and tax services are provided through ETL Global’s regulated professional network.
