Case Study (Golden Gate Digital)
Golden Gate Digital
A modern platform for Bitcoin and Ethereum: secure, regulated, and built for long-term digital asset savings
We built for Golden Gate Digital a secure, scalable, and regulatory-compliant system that enables clients to invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum through long-term savings (DCA), while meeting the strictest AML, DORA, MiCA, and Travel Rule standards.
Client and starting point
Golden Gate is a traditional investment group that expanded its portfolio with digital assets - Bitcoin and Ethereum - and offers clients the option to invest through a Bitcoin/Ethereum account.
To allow clients to save into cryptocurrencies safely, long-term, and transparently, it was necessary to build a robust technology platform aligned with EU financial regulations.
The platform had to combine modern crypto infrastructure, stable operations, and top-tier cybersecurity.
Project goals
- Create a stable and secure platform enabling investment into Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- Support ongoing savings through the DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) method.
- Integrate multiple exchanges (Kraken, Coinmate, and others) for the best pricing and market stability.
- Ensure regulatory compliance: AML, DORA, MiCA, Travel Rule.
- Enable clients to safely transfer cryptocurrencies to their own hardware wallet.
- Provide a custodial solution for long-term, secure, and protected storage of clients' accumulated crypto funds.
- Support full auditability and a long-term compliance framework.
- Enable fiat transaction handling (payment matching with banks, card payments).
- Enable crypto transaction processing (crypto deposits and withdrawals).
- Ensure stable operations and support (SLA).
Our solution
We built a modern investment platform that combines traditional finance and digital assets into one secure whole:
Step 01
Platform for long-term savings (DCA)
The system enables clients to regularly buy Bitcoin and Ethereum in small amounts - a strategy that reduces market volatility risk and supports long-term value building.
Step 02
Integration of multiple cryptocurrency exchanges
To achieve the best purchasing conditions and high liquidity, the platform dynamically works with multiple exchanges. This approach provides better prices, lower outage risk, and a stable purchase process.
- Kraken
- Coinmate
- Other licensed partners
Step 03
Transfer to own hardware wallet without complications
Users can safely transfer their cryptocurrencies to their own hardware wallet at any time, supporting full control over their assets and complete transparency. The platform is, however, primarily a custodial solution with a fast and simple opt-out.
Step 04
Regulatory compliance at the core of the architecture
From the beginning, we designed the system to meet core compliance requirements. Compliance is not an add-on - it is part of the architecture.
- AML (transaction monitoring, screening, verification)
- Travel Rule (mandatory information exchange between providers)
- DORA (risk management, technological resilience, logging, traceability)
- MiCA (comprehensive regulation for the crypto-asset market)
Step 05
Cybersecurity tested in practice
The platform regularly undergoes security audits by reputable external auditors, which significantly increases resilience against attacks and the safety of client funds.
Results
- Secure platform enabling DCA savings into Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- Multi-exchange infrastructure for the best market conditions.
- Transparent and auditable operations compliant with AML, DORA, MiCA, and Travel Rule.
- High level of cybersecurity confirmed by external audits.
- Ability to transfer cryptocurrencies to personal hardware wallets, ensuring full control over client assets.
- Golden Gate gained a modern technology foundation for long-term investment into digital assets.
- Golden Gate gained a secure platform for managing and holding crypto assets and FIAT funds, making investments safe and simple for clients.
