custody

Who looks after your shares or coins for you, like a safe that keeps your things.

The fuller meaning

Safekeeping of assets. Shares are held electronically through a central depository, such as a demat account in India, and brokers must keep clients' assets separate from their own. Crypto left on a platform depends on that platform's safety, while self-custody in your own wallet puts all the responsibility on you.
