What is a self-custody wallet and why does it matter?

What is Self-Custody?

Self-custody means you hold the private keys to your digital assets. Unlike traditional banking where a third party controls your funds, self-custody puts you in the driver's seat.

Your money should always be yours. With a self-custody wallet, you're in full control—no banks to block you, no hidden rules.

Why It Matters

  • No account freezes or restrictions
  • Access your funds 24/7
  • No intermediaries taking fees
  • True ownership of your assets

How Limited Implements Self-Custody

All Limited Business accounts are self-custodial by default. Your funds are secured by cryptographic keys that only you control, while still enjoying the convenience of traditional banking features.
