Google announced its MPC-based crypto custody platform on October 29, 2026, at the New York Digital Assets Conference. The platform targets banks and splits private keys across environments for enhanced security. Institutions can set spending limits, whitelist addresses, and require multi-signatures before transactions are signed. Currently in private preview, the service is set to launch in early 2027, with major financial institutions already testing it. Google has integrated the technology with Solana and Ethereum, citing Chainalysis data showing that 43.8% of stolen crypto in 2024 originated from private key leaks. While not yet post-quantum secure, the platform supports future upgrades. This development underscores growing institutional interest in secure custody solutions. Stay tuned to Crypto Today for more updates.

BlockBeats report: On October 29, Google launched its Google Multi-Party Compute managed platform at the New York Digital Assets Symposium, targeting banks and financial institutions. The platform shards private keys across multiple environments to prevent the full private key from being centralized. Before transaction signing, it can enforce institutional policies to validate spending limits, whitelisted addresses, and multi-party authorization. The service is currently in private preview and is planned for commercial release in early 2027, with several major financial institutions already testing it.


Alphabet has used this technology to protect digital assets on Solana and Ethereum, without disclosing specific holdings or the list of testing institutions. Google stated that Chainalysis data shows that private key compromises accounted for approximately 43.8% of all stolen crypto assets in 2024. The current product is not post-quantum, but its architecture can be extended to incorporate post-quantum cryptography in the future.
