Financial services firm, PhillipCapital has today unveiled the launch of its latest digital asset member, Symphony digital assets or Symphony.
Created via a strategic collaboration with Fireblocks, an enterprise platform to manage digital asset operations and build innovative businesses on the blockchain, Symphony will offer a new suite of digital asset solutions to its clients.
The first product, the Symphony digital asset wallet, is slated to launch in the first quarter of this year.
The Symphony digital asset wallet, which leans on PhillipCapital’s financial service expertise and Fireblock’s enterprise-grade Multi-Party Computation (MPC-CMP) technology, will enable clients to securely store and transact their digital assets.
The service will be first introduced via PhillipCapital’s mobile trading application, POEMS Mobile 3.
Simultaneously, Symphony will debut a complimentary digital collectible, the People of Phillip NFT collection, for individuals registering for the digital asset wallet via the POEMS Mobile 3 App.

In subsequent stages, the Symphony digital asset wallet is set to become accessible as an independent custody service and platform, enabling organisations to effortlessly establish and oversee digital asset wallets, ensuring ease and efficiency in their management.
In addition to the Symphony digital asset wallet, further products in the pipeline later this year include tokenized real-world assets, and smart contract services. With these plans in place, Symphony aims to be a one-stop destination for clients looking to explore the full potential of the digital asset landscape.
“Symphony digital assets is not just a step into the future of finance; it is a shaper of finance’s future,” says CEO of Symphony digital assets, Seh Huan Kiat.
