A disciplined approach to digital asset infrastructure selection.
Bravelle applies a risk-first review model to custody, execution support, collateral management and post-trade operating workflows.
Operating principles
Infrastructure first, exposure second.
Before scaling any digital asset strategy, the operating model must be reviewed across custody, trading venue connectivity, counterparty exposure, settlement workflow and reporting. Bravelle focuses on these controls before making provider decisions.
Review principles
- Separation of custody and execution risk where possible.
- Clear reconciliation and reporting after each settlement cycle.
- Defined approval, governance and operational controls.
- API and webhook readiness for monitoring and operations.
- Multi-time-zone support for European and APAC workflows.
Assessment model
Provider review criteria.
The review does not focus only on product coverage. It assesses whether the provider can support a resilient institutional operating model.
| Area | Review focus | Example questions |
|---|---|---|
| Custody model | Segregation, approval workflow, controls and reporting. | How are assets held, delegated, withdrawn and reported? |
| Settlement | Off-exchange settlement, lifecycle events and reconciliation. | How is settlement initiated, approved, monitored and reconciled? |
| Venue coverage | Supported venues, APAC connectivity and operational hours. | Which APAC venues and workflows are supported today? |
| Integration | API, webhook, reporting and technical onboarding process. | What documentation, sandbox and technical support is available? |
