ARCrypto is a private decentralized finance group teaching sophisticated capital how to borrow against crypto, tokenized equities, and stocks without forcing a sale or triggering a recognized disposal.

How can I borrow against my crypto?

On-chain lending markets and centralized providers extend USD or stablecoin loans against Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto collateral, typically at single-digit rates. ARCrypto teaches the structure, liquidation thresholds, and counsel-aware framework.

What is Buy, Borrow, Die?

Buy, Borrow, Die is a wealth-management strategy: buy long-term appreciating assets, borrow against them instead of selling, and pass them to heirs at a stepped-up basis. ARCrypto teaches the on-chain version of the same playbook.

Are these strategies tax-compliant?

ARCrypto describes mechanical features of certain on-chain operations that are not realization events under common interpretations of major-jurisdiction tax law. ARCrypto does not replace tax counsel.

Gemini Custody - ARCrypto

ARCIPEDIA · PLATFORM · CUSTODY

Plain English

Gemini Custody is the institutional custody business within Gemini, operating under a NY DFS trust company charter. Used by various crypto ETFs and institutional clients. Same regulatory framework as Paxos and Coinbase Custody.

How it actually works

SOC 2 Type 2 audited cold storage with hardware-secured key infrastructure. Insurance via Aon Ltd. Strong on Ethereum staking custody. Lost some institutional credibility after the 2022 Gemini Earn freeze (driven by Genesis exposure), though Gemini Custody itself operated cleanly.

What it means for you

For HNW users seeking a NY DFS-regulated alternative to Coinbase Custody, Gemini Custody is the primary choice. Lower scale than Coinbase but the same regulatory framework. The 2022 Earn issues did not affect Custody operations but did affect the broader Gemini brand perception.
