Asset Segregation

Definition

Asset Segregation is the practice of keeping different types of assets or investor funds separate from one another. This separation is a fundamental risk management technique designed to protect assets in case of insolvency or operational failures. In digital asset contexts, it ensures that a platform’s assets are distinct from client holdings, thereby providing a layer of security for users. Adherence to segregation principles is often a regulatory requirement and a hallmark of robust financial operations.
