Securities custody refers to the safekeeping and management of financial assets, such as stocks, bonds, or digital securities, on behalf of clients. Custodians are responsible for protecting these assets from theft, loss, or unauthorized access, often providing services like trade settlement, record-keeping, and income collection. In the digital asset space, this involves securely holding private keys or tokenized securities, often through specialized digital asset custodians. This service is essential for institutional investors.
