Institutional Participant Onboarding Agent
Qualifies exchanges, custodians, validators, issuers, and liquidity venues as institutional counterparties.
Builds a reusable counterparty passport for each venue: which entity holds which permission, how client assets are safeguarded, whether financial condition and subcontractor dependencies hold up, and what exit looks like if they stop.
