In short: custody vs. self-custody

There are fundamentally two types of wallets, depending on where your cryptocurrency is stored: Custody or Self-Custody. We will show you how they differ.

Third-party custody

Your cryptocurrency is managed online by the crypto exchange. This means your cryptos are always quickly available, and you don't have to worry about their storage.
However, due to online storage, they can become a target for theft, or if the exchange goes bankrupt, your cryptocurrency may, depending on the legal situation, become part of the bankruptcy estate.

Self-custody

You are the true owner of your cryptocurrency. With this, you have full control. You can choose between online options like apps or offline options such as the Cryptonow Wallet® (R). The offline option provides you with the highest level of security. Since you have full control, you will lose access to your cryptocurrency if you lose or forget your access credentials.
