Invest and Stake BNB Securely with a Trusted Qualified Custodian
BNB, the native token of BNB Chain and currently the world's fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has faced significant regulatory hurdles in the U.S., limiting investor access. To bridge that gap, Osprey Funds introduced the Osprey BNB Chain Trust (OBNB) — the first U.S.-listed fund providing accredited investors with seamless, secure BNB exposure via traditional brokerage accounts.
As one of the limited options available to U.S. investors, OBNB offers secure, direct exposure to BNB through an OTC-traded trust. To deliver this unique solution and instill confidence in their institutional investors, OBNB required a reputable qualified custodian to ensure both regulatory compliance and asset security.
The launch of the Osprey BNB Chain Trust demonstrates our commitment to providing access to premier digital assets. As we expand this access, our focus on security and regulatory compliance is paramount. Protecting our customers' assets is our greatest responsibility which is why we've partnered with BitGo to safeguard those assets.
Looking beyond foundational security, OBNB wanted to do more than simply hold BNB in cold storage—they aimed to earn optimized, high-yield rewards. To achieve this, they needed a trusted partner that could also provide seamless access to institutional-grade BNB staking.
The BitGo Solution for Institutional Digital Assets
OBNB required a qualified custodian that could provide unmatched compliance and security. They found their solution in BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association (BitGo Bank & Trust). Backed by BitGo's robust infrastructure, this strategic partnership empowers investors to confidently hold and stake BNB—securely and efficiently.

A Foundation for Security and Scale
For OBNB investors, gaining exposure to the BNB token has never been more secure. OBNB's selection of BitGo as its qualified custodian provides a single, seamless platform for custody and staking, ensuring all of the trust's digital assets are protected by the industry's highest standards.
Launched in December 2024, The Osprey BNB Chain Trust (OBNB) is the first U.S. publicly quoted fund offering direct exposure to BNB—the native token of the BNB blockchain—through traditional brokerage and IRA accounts via OTCQX.
