  • Wide asset coverage with from 1,000 coins supported.
  • Custody is flexible, offering self-custody self custody alongside custodial options in self custody and custodial.

Cons

  • Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line in that list.

Who it suits

  • Treasury and operations teams that settle many assets and need a regulated counterparty
  • Firms that want to choose between self-custody and custodial arrangements
  • Organisations comfortable with a software platform rather than a handheld device

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone starting from a small balance, since the entry price of $999 is steep against the €0 site median.
  • People who want a device in hand, since it is a software wallet rather than hardware.
  • Users who need a phone line, since support runs on email, chat and help centre.

Safety and regulation

Custody is self custody, and the wallet is a software platform. Key material is split into distributed shares across secure hardware environments using multi-party computation, so no one device holds a full key. The regulated side is strong: Fireblocks Trust Company, LLC holds a New York State Department of Financial Services limited purpose trust company charter, 2734330, and a FinCEN money services business registration, 31000318429394.

Who runs it

The service is run by Fireblocks LLC, which is listed with the NMLS under 2066055 and registered with FinCEN as a money services business under 31000282850063. A sister entity, Fireblocks Trust Company, LLC, carries the New York State Department of Financial Services charter, 2734330. Support runs on email, chat and help centre.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of wallet is Fireblocks?+

Fireblocks is a software wallet, so it runs as software rather than as a physical device you carry. The key setup it relies on is described as multi-party computation with distributed key shares across secure hardware environments, which keeps any single machine from holding a full key.

How many coins can I hold?+

Fireblocks supports from 1,000 coins, so the range is far wider than a single asset setup. The legal entity behind the service is Fireblocks LLC, which matters when you are reconciling a large portfolio of assets.

What does Fireblocks cost?+

There is a starting price of $999 attached to the service, which is well above the €0 median across the wallets we compare. The rank on price is 119 of 120, so budget for a higher tier than most retail wallets ask.

Is Fireblocks regulated?+

Fireblocks sits under the New York State Department of Financial Services, which granted Fireblocks Trust Company, LLC a limited purpose trust company charter, licence id 2734330. The trust company also holds a FinCEN money services business registration, 31000318429394.

What registrations does the company itself hold?+

Yes. Fireblocks LLC is listed with the NMLS under id 2066055 and also appears in FinCEN records as a money services business, 31000282850063. Both entities sit under US regulators, so the paperwork is in the United States rather than in your own market.

Who holds the keys?+

The listing shows both self-custody and custodial arrangements, self custody and custodial, with self-custody as the headline model, self custody. That lets a team decide how much of the key material it holds itself and how much sits with the provider.

How do I get help?+

You can reach the team on email, chat and help centre. That mix means written answers and a help centre rather than a voice on the phone, so teams that need spoken escalation should plan around that.

Is Fireblocks suitable for an individual?+

Fireblocks is built for organisations rather than single holders, which is why the entry price of $999 is set where it is. A buyer who wants a personal wallet can compare a hardware device or a mobile app instead, and a reader who wants a provider to hold funds can look at custodial.
