June 9, 2026

Seneca, KS — June 8, 2026 — CNB Custody, a nationally recognized custodian specializing in alternative assets, today announced the launch of its new Cryptocurrency IRA offering. This expansion allows investors to buy and hold digital assets within their self-directed IRAs, providing a secure and trusted pathway to one of today’s fastest-growing investment categories.

Through this new service, CNB IRA holders can trade the top 50 cryptocurrencies listed on Coinbase, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, XRP, Polygon MATIC, Chainlink, Polkadot, Dogecoin, Avalanche, PAX Gold, and more.

“Digital assets have become an increasingly important part of modern portfolio diversification,” said Brian Sells, President of CNB Custody. “Our goal is to give investors and advisors a safe, transparent, and familiar way to access cryptocurrency within a tax-advantaged retirement account.”

Powered by ETZ Soft and Coinbase

To deliver a seamless and secure trading experience, CNB utilizes ETZ Soft, Inc., an independent platform specializing in digital-asset trading. ETZ is powered by Coinbase, enabling account holders to buy, sell, and store cryptocurrency with industry-leading security.

Investors simply download the ETZ app, establish a trading account, and fund it directly from their CNB IRA. Trading is available 24/7, giving clients full control over their digital-asset strategy.

Advisor-Friendly by Design

CNB’s new offering supports advisors regardless of their stance on cryptocurrency.

Advisors who want to actively manage their clients’ crypto holdings may also be added as authorized representatives, allowing them to view and trade within their clients’ ETZ accounts if they choose.

For advisors who prefer not to engage with crypto, CNB offers a trusted referral option. Advisors can confidently direct clients to CNB knowing their relationships remain protected. “At some point, nearly every advisor will encounter a client interested in cryptocurrency,” Sells added. “Now they can offer a reliable solution whether or not they choose to be directly involved.”
