Custody and disclosures pertain to the secure holding of assets and the transparent reporting of information related to those assets and their management. In the digital asset space, custody involves safeguarding private keys and managing digital assets on behalf of clients, often by specialized third-party custodians. Disclosures require providing clear, accurate, and timely information about asset holdings, operational practices, and potential risks to investors and regulators. These elements are crucial for establishing trust and ensuring market integrity.
