ecrop generates revenue through two distinct business models: Crypto Securities Registry Management and Crypto Custody. Both business models feature transparent, competitive, and performance-based fee structures tailored to our customers’ individual needs and transaction volumes.

​
(1) Crypto Securities Registry Management

As a licensed (grandfathering; final license pending) Crypto Securities Registry Manager under the eWpG (German Electronic Securities Act), ecrop charges fees for the following services:
  • Issuance Fees: The fee for registering crypto securities in the registry is based on the number of securities issued and the issuance volume.
  • Transaction Volume: A fee is charged for each registry transaction, such as the issuance, transfer, or deletion of a crypto security.
  • Additional Services: Optional supplementary services, such as integration with existing systems, creation of customized reports, or provision of API access, may incur additional fees.

​
(2) Crypto Custody (KWG License)

As an authorized crypto custodian (application in progress) under the KWG (German Banking Act), ecrop charges fees for the secure and regulated custody of crypto assets. The fees are based on the following factors:
  • Custody Fees: The fee is determined by the average value of the crypto assets under custody.
  • Type of Cryptocurrency: Different fees may apply for various types of cryptocurrencies and tokens.
  • Additional Services: Optional supplementary services, such as the use of multi-signature wallets, provision of hardware wallets, or integration with other systems, may incur additional fees.

​
(3) Optional Staking

In addition to crypto custody, ecrop optionally offers a staking service for selected crypto assets, such as Ethereum (ETH). For participation in staking, ecrop charges a fee calculated as a percentage of the achieved staking rewards. The fee structure and associated risks are communicated transparently. Additional Notes:
  • Transparency: All fees are clearly displayed on our website. There are no hidden costs.
  • Flexibility: Flexible pricing models enable adaptation to individual customer needs and volumes.
  • Individual Agreements: Custom pricing arrangements are available for major clients and partners.
