Custody Risk

Custody risk is the risk of loss, restricted access or other problems arising from how assets are safeguarded or controlled. It can affect traditional assets, physical assets and blockchain based assets.

Why it matters to you

An RWA structure can involve custody at several levels. The token may be held through a wallet or digital asset custodian while the underlying securities, cash, property documents, gold or other assets are controlled elsewhere. Investors should understand each custody layer rather than looking only at where the token is held.
