Custody Risk

Even with secure storage, your assets still face risks. Learn how custody works and what protection really means.

Your funds are held securely by a licensed external custodian, known as a “safeguarding person,” in a dedicated trust account. This arrangement helps protect your assets by keeping them separate from both our company’s funds and the exchange’s operations.


While regulated custodians follow strict security protocols, it’s important to understand that cryptocurrency remains vulnerable to risks such as cyber-attacks, operational issues, or market disruptions that could affect access. Additionally, financial mismanagement or malpractice by any party involved could impact your assets, although regulatory oversight aims to reduce such risks.


Key points to know: 

  • Your crypto is stored securely by a licensed external custodian, not on the digital payment token service provider (“DPTSP”) itself. 

  • Funds are held in a trust account, separate from company and DPTSP assets. 

  • Regulatory oversight helps ensure strong custody and security standards. 

  • Despite safeguards, risks such as cyber threats or operational problems still exist. 

  • It’s essential to understand how your assets are protected and who holds them. 

  • Only invest money you can afford to lose.
