Institutional Crypto Custody—Even for Individuals

What this recording covers

Individual clients seeking institutional custody services must meet minimum account thresholds, such as holding fifty thousand units of an asset or a portfolio value specified in the recording. Claver explains that while establishing an entity like a limited liability company or a trust offers asset protection and privacy, individuals who lack the resources for immediate entity formation can still onboard directly. Qualified custodians in the United States utilize hardware security modules to meet federal information processing standards for secure digital asset storage. These institutional custody accounts maintain segregated asset structures and provide coverage up to a designated amount. Account holders can designate a spouse or children as beneficiaries, ensuring legal succession without requiring heirs to understand blockchain technology or manage private cryptographic keys. Claver notes that direct onboarding allows individual account holders to access regulated institutional infrastructure while establishing succession plans for family members.
