Self-Custody

Holding your own crypto in a wallet you control, rather than leaving it with an exchange or provider.

Last updated: June 2026

Self-custody (or non-custodial) means you alone hold the private keys to your crypto, giving you full control and responsibility for your funds.

Crypto card users often keep most funds in self-custody and only move stablecoins to the card when they intend to spend, limiting exposure on any single platform.
