The function will be exclusively accessible to Coinbase Prime users, a premium subscription service offering enhanced trading capabilities, and a bespoke custody model to protect assets tailored for the niche requirements of high net-worth individuals. 

In the announcement, Coinbase summarized the service by saying:

“ONE Digital SMA is a solution for wealth managers that want to give clients access to crypto through direct ownership of assets, complete transparency and the ability to optimize future returns through value-added services, like staking.”
