The 50 Most Interesting Companies In Bitcoin's History: 49/50
Onramp
The Idea: Multi-institution Bitcoin custody — similar to Unchained's collaborative custody but with keys distributed across multiple independent institutions rather than just one company and the client. A 'trust minimized' approach.
Early Traction: Positioned as the next evolution of Bitcoin custody after Unchained proved the collaborative model.
Peak Stats: Early stage and growing, but still small relative to incumbents.
Status Today: Active. Building out multi-institution custody model.
Why It Matters:
Onramp represents the next iteration of the self-custody thesis — distributing trust across multiple independent parties so that no single institution (including Onramp itself) can compromise funds.
