Zerohash has launched AUTH, a service that lets users approve transfers between linked crypto accounts and wallets without manually copying addresses or choosing a blockchain. The company says it supports more than 600 connections, though its developer documentation lists 639 wallets and four exchange or brokerage accounts, with some integrations still in beta.
Crypto infrastructure firm Zerohash has launched AUTH, a service that lets users transfer supported digital assets between linked exchange accounts and self-custody wallets without copying a wallet address or choosing a blockchain network. Announced at the Money20/20 conference in Las Vegas, the product is designed to reduce the steps users take when moving funds through apps that integrate Zerohash’s technology.
To make a transfer, a user selects an account or wallet from within a participating app, signs in and approves the transaction. AUTH handles routing and settlement, according to Zerohash. The app offering the service determines which assets, accounts and transfer types are available, so supported options may differ from one app to another.
Zerohash says AUTH supports more than 600 connections, including services such as Coinbase, Robinhood, Gemini, MetaMask and Phantom. Its developer documentation lists 639 wallets and four exchange or brokerage accounts. Coinbase, Robinhood and Gemini are live integrations, while Kraken is listed as being in beta.
The company says AUTH supports cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and blockchain-based securities, including stock tokens. The announcement does not mean every asset or connection is available in every app: participating firms control what their users can access. Zerohash supplies the underlying infrastructure, while the user’s app provides the interface for selecting and approving a transfer.
Fewer Steps in Crypto Transfers
AUTH targets a familiar source of friction in digital-asset transfers: users often need to identify the destination address, check that it is correct and select a compatible blockchain network. A mistake can send funds to an unusable destination or result in a loss, depending on the asset and network. Removing manual address entry may make transfers simpler, particularly for people moving assets between services and self-custody wallets.
The change also shifts some of the interaction away from the user and toward the participating app and Zerohash’s infrastructure. That could make the transfer process feel more like connecting financial accounts than handling blockchain-specific details. But the service does not remove the need for users to review and approve transactions, nor does the announcement establish that every transfer is free of network, custody or operational risks.
For businesses, AUTH offers a way to add transfers among connected crypto services without building every connection and routing function themselves, according to Zerohash’s description of its platform. The practical reach will depend on which apps adopt it, which accounts and assets they enable, and whether users trust the sign-in and approval process.

Zerohash’s Infrastructure Business
Founded in 2017 and based in Chicago, Zerohash provides crypto infrastructure to companies through APIs and developer tools. Its services include custody, compliance, liquidity, settlement and blockchain connectivity. The company says it operates regulated entities in 51 U.S. jurisdictions and has a regulatory presence in the United States, European Union, Latin America and Bermuda. It has provided crypto infrastructure for firms including Morgan Stanley’s E*Trade.
The AUTH launch arrives as Zerohash pursues changes to its regulatory position in the United States. In July, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency returned the company’s application for a national trust bank charter, a step the agency takes when it considers a filing materially deficient. Zerohash described the return as an administrative process and submitted a narrower application on Aug. 18. The application was still pending in the report published Oct. 19.
The company was also reported to have held acquisition talks with Mastercard, which did not proceed earlier in 2026. At the time, Zerohash was reportedly seeking to raise $250 million at a $1.5 billion valuation. Those reports provide business context, but they do not establish the funding status or valuation of the company following the AUTH announcement.
“He described repeated address checks and test payments as “one of the biggest points of friction” that AUTH is aiming to simplify.”
— Alex LaPrade, CEO of a non-custodial Ethereum and multi-chain crypto wallet

Integration and Transfer Limits
Adoption and availability remain open questions. Zerohash’s connection count includes many wallets, while its documentation lists only four exchange or brokerage accounts. The source material identifies three of those accounts as live and Kraken as in beta; it does not provide a launch schedule for other possible exchange integrations or explain when beta support may become generally available.
Details about fees, transaction limits, processing times, supported networks for individual assets and how failed or disputed transfers are handled were not provided in the announcement. The report also does not specify how authentication works across each connected service or what account permissions users must grant. Those details may vary by app, which chooses the transfer options it offers.
Zerohash’s pending bank-charter application is a separate regulatory matter. The product launch does not resolve that application, and the available information does not establish whether AUTH changes the company’s regulatory status or the responsibilities of participating apps.

More Integrations and Regulatory Review
The near-term test for AUTH will be whether apps add the service and make a broad range of its listed connections available to users. Zerohash’s documentation identifies Kraken as in beta; the company’s announcement, as reported, does not set a date for moving that integration out of beta or provide a timeline for additional exchange and brokerage connections.
Users considering a transfer through a participating app will need to check that app’s own list of supported assets, accounts and transfer types, along with any fees and transaction terms it displays. Separately, Zerohash’s narrower national trust bank charter application remained pending as of the report’s publication on Oct. 19, 2026. No decision date was given.
