Blockchain.com provides crypto wallets, trading services, institutional infrastructure and public network data. Its work began in 2011 with a Bitcoin explorer and developer tools. The company later expanded into wallets, brokerage and exchange services, institutional trading and venture investing.
Wallets and trading
The platform distinguishes its self-custody DeFi Wallet from its custodial Trading Account. Users control the keys to assets in the DeFi Wallet; custodial services such as buying, selling, swapping and rewards require identity verification. Product access, payment methods, supported assets and fees depend on the service and the user's location.
Blockchain.com offers staking and other rewards products to eligible users. These products have different terms and risks and should not be treated as interchangeable. In October 2026, the company introduced options trading in its app for eligible users in supported jurisdictions. Its terms separately describe software interfaces for third-party perpetuals and prediction protocols; regulatory permissions held by other group entities do not automatically cover those interfaces.
Institutional services and network data
Institutional services include digital asset trading, liquidity and related infrastructure. The Blockchain Explorer provides transaction and address lookups, while its Bitcoin charts publish network, mining and market datasets. Blockchain.com Ventures lists investments in crypto companies and protocols. The portfolio below reflects verified matches to that published list; an undated portfolio entry does not establish a current holding, investment size or whether an investment involved equity or tokens.
Leadership
The company's management page names Peter Smith as CEO, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman; Nic Cary as Vice Chairman and Co-Founder; and Lane Kasselman as Co-CEO and President. Its management team also includes Mike Wilcox, Matt Tuzzolo, Tim Lubans, Taro Ugen, Al Turnbull and James Maddison. Former executives are identified separately in the team section.
Regulation and availability
Services are supplied by different legal entities. The user agreement updated in August 2026 identifies regional contracting entities and separate providers for rewards, staking and the DeFi Wallet. A group's registration or licence does not grant every product permission in every country.
- United Kingdom: Blockchain.com Operations (UK) Limited is on the FCA cryptoasset register, reference 1036678. This is anti-money-laundering registration, rather than general investment authorisation; the register states that Financial Ombudsman Service and Financial Services Compensation Scheme protection do not apply to these cryptoasset activities.
- European Union: The AMF's CASP list records Blockchain.com Operations (Malta) Limited's Maltese MiCA authorisation and passported services in France, including custody, crypto exchange, order execution and transfers.
- Singapore: MAS lists Blockchain.com (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. as a Major Payment Institution for digital payment token services.
Account access and support
The wallet account portal supports email, Google and Apple registration. Its interface offers English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and Russian; the exchange has a separate login. These interface and sign-in options do not establish product availability in a country. The Support Center provides product guides, FAQs and a support-request form. The company's licences page separately publishes support@blockchain.com for US customer complaints.
Blockchain.com's security disclosures describe controls certifications and assessments. Those disclosures should not be read as a public proof-of-reserves report or as evidence of complete solvency.
