Crypto Custody: Secure Storage and Compliance

When dealing with Crypto Custody, the practice of safeguarding digital assets on behalf of owners, typically via professional services or institutional platforms. Also known as digital asset custody, it ensures that tokens, NFTs and stablecoins stay protected against loss, theft or accidental loss of keys. A Custodial Wallet, a service that holds private keys for users and handles transaction signing on their behalf is the most common entry point for everyday investors. For larger holdings, firms often rely on Cold Storage, offline hardware or paper solutions that keep private keys disconnected from the internet. Both approaches need to meet strict Regulatory Compliance, the set of legal and supervisory requirements that dictate how custodians must protect client assets, report activities and manage risks to earn trust from Institutional Investors, large entities such as banks, hedge funds and pension funds that demand professional-grade custody solutions.
