A short, factual explainer — and how Xchange360 fits in.
In brief
What is crypto custody?
Crypto custody is the safekeeping of digital assets on behalf of an owner by a specialist provider, using secure key management, access controls and segregation. Businesses use a regulated custodian to reduce the operational and security risk of holding private keys themselves and to satisfy compliance expectations.
FAQ
Common questions
Why not self-custody?
At business scale, key management, signing policy, segregation and recovery are hard to run safely in-house. A regulated custodian assumes that operational risk under controls and audit.
Is custody regulated?
It can be. Xchange360 offers custody through regulated entities with segregation and institutional controls; specifics depend on jurisdiction.
