Secure Crypto Custody

Institutional custody service in cryptocurrency refers to a financial service in which a third-party institution, known as a custodian, holds and safeguards financial assets or securities on behalf of individuals or institutions. Crypto custodians do not own these assets: they act as a trustee or guardian, ensuring the assets are securely stored and properly managed.

Self-custody in crypto refers to the practice of personally managing and securing your own cryptocurrency assets, instead of relying on a third party like an exchange or custodian. When you use self-custody, you control your private keys — the cryptographic keys that allow you to access and spend your cryptocurrencies. This gives you full control of the digital assets you own.
