  Custodial refers to the practice of a third party holding and safeguarding assets on behalf of another party. In the context of digital currencies, custodial services are offered by exchanges or wallets that hold users' funds securely. This is done to protect the assets from theft or loss. Custodial services provide convenience and security for users who may not want to manage their own private keys or worry about the technical aspects of securing their digital assets.

  When it comes to digital currencies, custodial means that a trusted third party, such as an exchange or wallet provider, holds and manages the private keys associated with the user's digital assets. This allows users to easily store, send, and receive digital currencies without having to worry about the technical complexities of managing their own keys. However, it also means that users are relying on the custodian to keep their assets safe, which introduces a level of counterparty risk. It's important for users to choose reputable custodial services and understand the risks involved.
