  When you deposit digital assets, you retain control over your private keys and have the ability to manage and transfer your assets at any time. With a custodial account, your assets are held by a third party, such as an exchange, and you rely on them to manage and secure your assets. This means that you may have limited control over your assets and may need to go through additional steps to access or transfer them. It's important to consider the level of control and security you prefer when choosing between depositing digital assets or using a custodial account.

  Depositing digital assets is like keeping your money in your own wallet, while using a custodial account is like keeping your money in a bank. When you deposit digital assets, you have full control over your assets and can access them whenever you want. However, using a custodial account means that you are trusting a third party to hold and secure your assets. This can provide added convenience and security, but it also means that you may have to follow certain rules and procedures set by the custodian.
