8th July 2025 London – Zodia Markets, the digital asset platform reengineering how institutional capital moves, today announces Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity) as a client, marking a significant moment in the evolution of digital asset adoption.

As part of a wider strategy to internationalise donations, GOSH Charity is now able to accept crypto donations and seamlessly convert them into Pounds Sterling via the Zodia Markets platform, a decision which reflects the growing credibility and maturity of digital assets in high-trust institutional contexts. Globally renowned for its pioneering paediatric care, Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) has a long history of providing vital care for seriously ill children and their families. GOSH Charity exists to support the hospital’s most urgent needs, funding cutting-edge medical equipment, innovative research, state-of-the-art facilities and crucial support services, such as the hospital’s Play team.

Nick Philpott, Co-Founder and Head of Partnerships for Zodia Markets comments, “This partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity is deeply meaningful, both professionally and personally. As a parent of a GOSH outpatient, I’ve seen first-hand the extraordinary work the hospital does.

“By enabling crypto donations to be converted directly into funds to support the hospital’s most urgent needs, we’re helping unlock a new, borderless channel of giving. It’s a clear demonstration of how digital assets can deliver real-world impact without the delays, high costs and uncertainty of traditional cross-border payments. This way donations can be maximised and reach those who need it more quickly.”

As one of the most respected institutions in the world, GOSH brings 173 years of trust, credibility and global recognition to everything it does. In selecting Zodia Markets, a bank-backed, fellow UK-headquartered institution, GOSH Charity found a partner that mirrors their commitment to rigour, oversight and integrity. With bank-grade governance embedded at every level, Zodia Markets provides the regulatory standards, safeguards and operational transparency essential for institutions like GOSH Charity to adopt digital assets with confidence.

The partnership comes amid rising global interest in crypto philanthropy from high-net-worth individuals and family offices, particularly in the Middle East, where Zodia Markets provides these services through its regulated presence in Abu Dhabi Global Market.

James Kerr, GOSH Charity’s Senior Fundraising Research Manager comments, “At GOSH Charity, we are really excited to be working with Zodia Markets to enable us to accept donations via crypto, to help us raise vital funds to support seriously ill children from across the UK.

“We are an ambitious organisation and are in the midst of our biggest ever fundraising appeal, so it’s important for us to embrace new, secure and innovative ways to connect with our global supporter base. Working with Zodia Markets allows us to do that – opening a trusted new channel for charitable giving, while upholding the same high standards of governance, oversight and transparency that our donors expect.”

To ensure appropriate due diligence, all crypto donations must meet a minimum threshold of £10,000, enabling enhanced verification and alignment with GOSH Charity’s strict compliance standards.
