A brokerage for the part of the market that prefers a phone call.
Stormrake was founded in 2019 by people who had been clients of digital asset exchanges, and decided the experience could be quieter, more considered, and more private. Seven years on, with thousands of clients across Australia and the United States, the brief hasn't changed.
Exchanges are for transactions. Brokerages are for relationships.
A brokerage sells you a relationship.
One person to call. Considered pricing. Custody you don't manage. Research you don't have to find. Reporting your accountant doesn't have to chase.
An exchange sells you software.
You manage the price, the timing, the risk, the custody, the records, and the tax. The cheaper the platform, the more of the work it pushes onto you.
Stormrake is built for clients who have decided their time is worth more than their fees, and want a serious partner for the part of their wealth that lives on-chain.

Six things we hold the business to.
Not values for a wall. Values that get used when a hard decision lands on someone's desk.
Trust is the product
Trust isn't a by-product of a brokerage. It is the brokerage. Every decision is measured against it.
Compliance is an edge
Regulation is a competitive advantage, not a tax. Every requirement met is a barrier the next firm hasn't cleared.
Substance over scale
Growth for growth's sake is how exchanges blow up. A smaller number of well-served clients beats millions of anonymous accounts.
Transparency by default
Clients know where assets are, how fees work, who they're dealing with. No black boxes. If we can't explain it simply, we don't do it.
Relationships over transactions
A brokerage that only speaks to you when you're investing is a vending machine. We provide value between trades, not just during them.
Built for decades
Privately held. Still lean. Long-term decisions, not quarterly ones. The goal is to be here in twenty years, better than today.
