Move Your Assets Off Exchanges. Jake Claver, recorded March 2026.
What this recording covers
Claver explains the legal and operational differences between leaving digital holdings on retail trading venues and utilizing specialized institutional custody. On standard commercial trading platforms, deposited holdings typically place account holders in the legal position of general unsecured claimants because client assets are often commingled rather than held in segregated accounts. To eliminate exposure to platform balance sheets, institutional storage frameworks establish bankruptcy-remote structures where client assets remain strictly segregated and titled under dedicated legal custody. These specialized institutional arrangements provide substantial insurance coverage on stored assets and protect client property from external claims against the custodian. Claver emphasizes that moving assets off retail trading venues into isolated, insured custody structures preserves absolute ownership rights and minimizes operational risk.
