Digital asset custody arrangements can involve technology, access, operational, legal, and counterparty risk.
Key and access risk
Loss, compromise, misconfiguration, or unauthorized use of credentials or signing arrangements may affect assets.
Provider and counterparty risk
Third-party custody, wallet, infrastructure, or settlement providers may fail or restrict access.
No unverified protection claim
No custody arrangement should be described as insured, guaranteed, or risk-free unless formally verified and documented.
Operational controls
Approval policies and controls reduce some risks but cannot eliminate every technical, human, or external failure.
