  Custodial exchanges ensure the security of digital assets by storing them on behalf of their users. They typically employ advanced security measures such as cold storage, multi-signature wallets, and regular security audits. These exchanges often have insurance policies in place to protect against theft or loss of assets. Additionally, they implement strict KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) procedures to prevent unauthorized access or fraudulent activities.

  Non-custodial exchanges, on the other hand, prioritize user control and decentralization. They do not hold users' private keys or assets. Instead, users retain full control over their digital assets through the use of personal wallets. Non-custodial exchanges ensure security by implementing robust encryption protocols and secure communication channels. Users are responsible for safeguarding their private keys and taking necessary precautions to protect their assets from unauthorized access.
