BurjX, the UAE-born digital asset trading platform, has partnered with Fireblocks, an enterprise platform providing digital asset infrastructure solutions to businesses building on blockchain, to secure its digital asset trading and custody operations.

With over $2.17 billion lost to crypto theft in the first half of 2025 alone and just 22 percent of exchanges offering full insurance coverage, BurjX delivers market-leading protection through Fireblocks’ digital assets infrastructure and comprehensive insurance backed by Relm Insurance, the leading specialty insurer for digital assets.

Built on institutional-grade technology designed to handle one million transactions per second, BurjX delivers a seamless blend of speed, scale, and security. At the core of its custody architecture is Fireblocks’ MPC wallet technology, which safeguards user assets with advanced cryptographic protections that eliminate single points of failure. Private keys are never exposed, and every transaction is secured by role-based access, automated policy controls, and multi-layer authorization flows.

“All digital asset custody at BurjX, from hot wallets supporting active trading to cold wallets for long-term storage, is underpinned by Fireblocks infrastructure. This foundation gives our users confidence that their assets are protected by industry-leading security, covered by comprehensive insurance, and fully compliant with one of the world’s most rigorous regulatory frameworks.”

“BurjX is entering the market with a clear commitment to regulatory compliance and security-first infrastructure. We’re proud to provide the MPC wallet infrastructure that enables BurjX to operate securely, giving users confidence and control as the UAE’s digital asset ecosystem grows,” said Stephen Richardson, Chief Strategy Officer at Fireblocks.

To strengthen compliance and risk monitoring, BurjX has integrated Notabene to comply with the Travel Rule and Chainalysis to monitor transactions and on-chain activity, ensuring transparency and alignment with global AML standards.

In addition to enterprise-grade wallet security, BurjX has implemented comprehensive insurance coverage across both hot and cold wallet environments, giving users end-to-end protection against internal and external threats. This unified approach to security and execution allows both individual and institutional users to access deep liquidity, fast execution, safe custody on a single, integrated platform.

By leveraging Fireblocks, BurjX reinforces its commitment to delivering a trusted, transparent, and high-performance digital asset trading experience in the UAE and beyond.
