Zerohash Launches Tool to Move Crypto Without Wallet Addresses

Say Goodbye to Copy-Pasting Wallet Addresses

Moving cryptocurrency between wallets has long been a nerve-wracking process. One wrong letter in a 42-character address can cause funds to disappear forever.

Crypto infrastructure firm Zerohash wants to fix this issue completely. On October 19, 2026, the company officially launched a tool called AUTH at the Money20/20 conference in Las Vegas.

AUTH lets users move digital assets between connected accounts without ever having to copy long string wallet addresses or manually pick a blockchain network.

How the New AUTH Tool Works

The primary goal of AUTH is to strip away technical complexity for everyday users. It replaces complicated setup steps with a familiar account-linking experience.

To make a transfer, you simply select a linked account or wallet inside an app that supports AUTH, log in, and confirm the transaction.

Behind the scenes, Zerohash handles all the routing and settlement tasks automatically. Meanwhile, participating apps retain control over which assets, accounts, and transfer options they allow.

Transfers to wallets previously involved repeated address checks and test payments, which were one of the biggest points of friction that AUTH is aiming to simplify.

That quote comes from Alex La Prade, CEO of a popular non-custodial EthereumETH+1.28% and multi-chain wallet, highlighting why streamlined transfers matter so much to the industry.

Which Platforms and Assets Are Supported?

Zerohash confirmed that AUTH already supports over 600 connections. According to developer documentation, the service links to 639 self-custody wallets and four exchange or brokerage accounts.

Here is a breakdown of major platforms currently integrated or in testing:

• Coinbase: Live integration for connected transfers
• Robinhood: Live support for linked accounts
• Gemini: Live connection active
• Kraken: Currently testing in beta status
• Self-Custody Wallets: Full support for popular choices like MetaMask and Phantom

In addition to standard cryptocurrencies, AUTH supports transactions involving stablecoins and blockchain-based tokenized securities, such as stock tokens.

Leadership Focused on Mainstream Adoption

To lead the new venture, Zerohash appointed Ryan Beaudry as the general manager of AUTH. Beaudry previously served as executive vice president of global product and operations for open finance at Mastercard.

Onchain rails scale when users stop thinking about the underlying technology. Usability, trust and control is the inflection point for mass adoption.

Beaudry emphasizes that making blockchain tech invisible to the end user is essential if crypto is ever going to reach mainstream global usage.

Zerohash Background and Regulatory Moves

Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Chicago, Zerohash provides back-end crypto infrastructure for major financial names, including Morgan Stanley's E*Trade. They connect via APIs to manage custody, compliance, liquidity, settlement, and blockchain connections.

The company maintains a global regulatory footprint across the U.S., European Union, Latin America, and Bermuda, holding licenses in 51 U.S. jurisdictions.

Earlier this year, Zerohash held acquisition discussions with Mastercard, though those talks eventually fell through. At the time, Zerohash was reportedly seeking to raise $250 million at a $1.5 billion valuation.

Alongside product updates, Zerohash is actively expanding its regulatory standing in the United States. In July, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) returned Zerohash's application for a national trust bank charter due to material deficiencies.

Zerohash described the return as a routine administrative step and quickly refiled a narrower application on August 18, 2026. That federal application remains pending with regulators.
