Custody - Page 3
Custody refers to how cryptocurrencies and digital assets are stored and protected. It can be handled by third-party custodians, such as exchanges, or managed directly by users through self-custody wallets. Custodial services simplify access but require trust in the provider, while self-custody offers greater control and responsibility. Custody plays a critical role in security, regulation, and institutional adoption of crypto. The choice between custodial and non-custodial solutions often depends on user experience and risk tolerance.
