With more than 56,000 members, $920+ million in assets, over 200 employees, and serving 11 Northeast Oklahoma counties with 14 locations, WeStreet aims to revolutionize the access and management of digital assets for credit union members.

Through its partnership with CryptoFi, Etana aims to onboard numerous credit unions onto its custodial platform, which safeguards assets from fraud and theft. 
This offering enables credit unions and other financial institutions to efficiently generate revenue from digital asset services while retaining customers who may otherwise seek alternatives. The solution is said to be cost-effective to implement, eliminating the need for extensive in-house resources, and also mitigates counterparty risk on behalf of the financial institution. 
Etana's custody and trade support solutions allow clients in more than 100 countries to manage global currencies and digital assets from a secure environment with the ability to buy and sell directly from custody, eliminating risky transfers and inefficient transactions. 
Its comprehensive solution utilizes integrated technology to guarantee asset availability while allowing members of credit unions to mitigate risk. Balances are readily accessible for trading through the credit union's online member portal or mobile app, eliminating the need for lengthy or costly transfers. 
Etana offers an integrated platform that allows the custody of traditional G10 currencies and digital assets through its cold, hot, or MPC wallet solutions. 
CryptoFi offers a seamless crypto trading and education interface for credit union members and bank customers and a robust set of management, data analytics, marketing, and support tools.

By leveraging our robust custodial platform and comprehensive digital asset trading, clearing, and settlement services, we are capable of delivering bank-grade security that credit unions can rely on to provide the highest trust and confidence to their members."
