Segregated Custody
Your assets. Held separately. Always.
Digital asset custody from TamaChain Digital, an institutional asset management firm.
How segregation is applied
The difference between holding client assets within a shared pool and holding them under a segregated structure shows up in the records, the reporting and the day-to-day operations.
Commingled arrangements
- Client positions held alongside other holdings
- Ownership harder to evidence from internal records
- Reconciliation relies on manual workarounds
- Custody terms not always reflected in daily operations
Segregated structure
- Client assets held separately from firm holdings
- Documented ownership records available for internal review
- Reconciliation supported by consistent records
- Custody terms reflected in day-to-day operations
Full Asset Segregation
Client assets are held separately and are not pooled with our own holdings.
Independent Custody Structure
Assets are held under an independent custody arrangement rather than within our operating accounts.
Clear Ownership
Documented ownership records make it straightforward to identify which assets belong to each client.
Background
Institutional clients need clear attribution of ownership and well-defined segregation arrangements in order to maintain security and control over the assets they hold. These expectations shape how custody is structured from the outset.
Challenge
In digital asset custody, commingling of assets introduces unnecessary risk and uncertainty. When positions are not held separately, it becomes harder to evidence ownership, to reconcile activity, and to maintain control over client assets.
Solution
TamaChain Digital applies segregated account architecture and clear ownership records so that client assets are always held independently of our own holdings.
- Client assets are held in accounts separate from TamaChain Digital's own assets
- Ownership records identify each client's positions clearly and consistently
- Segregation is maintained across custody, trading and collateral activity
