Custody and settlement
Are client assets segregated?
Custody services are provided by SCRYPT Digital Trading AG. Each client has dedicated sub-wallets per asset, structured across hot, warm and cold layers. Client funds are segregated from SCRYPT’s own assets and are not used for SCRYPT’s own purposes. Ask us about legal ownership and the treatment of assets under your arrangement.
What happens if SCRYPT becomes insolvent?
Client assets are held for the client and kept apart from SCRYPT’s own assets. They are not bank deposits and are not covered by Swiss depositor protection. For insolvency treatment under your arrangement, speak to our team.
Who holds the custody keys?
Custody is operated by SCRYPT Digital Trading AG. Keys are MPC-secured with threshold signing, so no single complete signing key exists. Withdrawals pass policy approval and MPC signing before broadcast. Key-loss protection from a specialist provider is part of the service. Key-loss protection provides infrastructure backup to prevent asset loss from technical failures or lost keys. It is not individual investment insurance.
Can we trade without pre-funding?
Post-trade settlement lets qualifying clients execute without pre-funding, against a pre-approved credit line. Settlement is batched or ad hoc, including same-day T+0. Eligibility follows a credit assessment at onboarding, for institutional clients only, and is set out in the agreement. The exposure window is agreed per client and stated in writing.
Can client assets be lent or pledged?
Ask the team whether lending, pledging or rehypothecation terms apply to your arrangement. We never lend, pledge or rehypothecate client assets without the client’s express written consent.
