Institutional Custody

Definition

Institutional custody involves specialized entities securely holding and managing digital assets for large organizations. These services provide robust security measures, regulatory compliance, and insurance against theft or loss, addressing the unique needs of hedge funds, asset managers, and corporations. Custodians typically employ a combination of cold storage, multi-signature wallets, and rigorous internal controls. This infrastructure is essential for attracting traditional finance participants to the digital asset market.
