A digital asset trust is a legal arrangement where a trustee holds and manages digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies, on behalf of beneficiaries. This structure provides a mechanism for secure ownership, transfer, and estate planning for digital holdings, often with specific rules for asset distribution or management. It aims to address the complexities of digital asset inheritance and long-term control. Such trusts can offer enhanced security and legal clarity.
Context

Debates frequently concern the regulatory oversight of such trusts and the technical challenges of securing private keys held by a trustee. Future developments are expected to standardize legal frameworks for digital asset trusts and enhance technological solutions for secure, compliant asset administration.
