Custody Models for Trading Products

Custody model choices define legal posture, operational complexity, and user trust profile.

Market snapshot

Swap, bridge, and perps products are converging into single user journeys where routing quality and risk controls decide whether users stay or churn.

How teams execute this in production

The strongest builds unify routing, execution, and risk engines behind one API layer so the front-end can iterate without breaking controls.

What to avoid

Common failure patterns include overbuilding too early, weak data quality controls, and unclear accountability between product, compliance, and operations teams.

Action plan

Define one measurable business KPI, ship a tightly scoped implementation, and expand only after proving retention, settlement reliability, and operational control.
