Founded in 2021 and co-incubated by Everest Ventures Group and TTB Partners, it gives family offices, external asset managers and ultra-high-net-worth investors a single regulated account to trade, custody, earn yield on and report across crypto - plus a white-label infrastructure stack that lets other wealth managers offer the same. It is backed by RIT Capital Partners (the Rothschild investment trust) and Liberty City Ventures.

Licensed by Dubai's VARA and holding a Retail Payment Services license from the UAE Central Bank, Fuze has onboarded hundreds of institutions and processed billions in digital asset volume since its 2023 launch.
