Unchained
Collaborative multisig custody, inheritance planning and bitcoin-backed loans — US-focused.
Unchained provides collaborative multisig custody for individuals and businesses in the US, along with inheritance planning, IRAs and bitcoin-backed lending built on the same key model. In a collaborative vault you hold most of the keys and Unchained holds one, so they can help you recover but can never move funds on their own.
It suits US holders who want institution-grade custody, tax-advantaged accounts or a loan against their stack without selling. The concentration on US regulation and services is both its strength and its limit — outside that market, a self-directed multisig setup or a provider like Casa or Nunchuk may fit better.
