The way you buy, sell, and custody crypto is evolving.
For years, crypto holders have faced limited choices. Store crypto assets on an exchange with the risk of hacks and security breaches or take on the responsibility, and stress, of self-custody and management of your own private crypto wallet keys.
But what if there was a better and more simple way?
Introducing iTrustCapital’s Premium Custody Accounts (PCA), our first-ever non-IRA account designed to give you a safer way to buy, sell, and custody crypto. No complex wallets to manage or lost private keys to worry about, and no large crypto exchange vulnerabilities exacerbated by poor service ratings - just a more secure way to buy, sell, and hold crypto assets for the long term.
Let’s break down the features and benefits of Premium Custody Accounts and why it could be the solution working professionals across America have been waiting for.
The added Security of a Closed-Loop System
Why the closed-loop system?
Loss of crypto asset horror stories exist everywhere. Every week, client accounts on crypto exchanges get compromised (mostly due to socially engineered phishing attacks or user error), resulting in being locked out of their personal accounts, while scammers drain crypto assets from their private wallets within minutes.
There are other ways to lose your crypto; you may have heard of a case where one individual lost access to 8,000 BTC because his hard drive (cold storage device) was misplaced or inadvertently discarded, or the middle-aged public relations executive whose cell phone SIM card was swapped, resulting in millions of stolen digital assets. Even on trusted exchanges, if your account gets compromised and drained, you're left filing a support ticket, hoping for a response within days or weeks while your assets take a one-way trip to Timbuktu.
This approach led us to ask a simple question: Why isn’t there a crypto platform that eliminates these typical crypto account risks?
That is why we built the closed-loop system.
How the Closed-Loop System Reduces Risk and Protects Your Assets
With the Premium Custody Account (PCA), we’ve significantly reduced the vulnerabilities that come with crypto exchanges and self-custody crypto wallets. Our closed-loop system ensures that digital assets remain secure. The iTrustCapital “Closed-Loop System” literally means client assets flow to and from that user’s US bank account only, with zero ability to connect to or transact with external wallets.
Here’s how it works:
- USD-Only Deposits: PCA accounts only accept USD deposits from the account owner's US bank.
- No Crypto Deposits or in-kind Transfers: Digital assets cannot be used to fund a PCA account (USD only).
- USD-Only Withdrawals: Withdrawals are only allowed in USD, sent directly back to the account owner's US bank on record.
- No Crypto Withdrawals: Digital assets cannot be withdrawn, transferred to external wallets, used for payments, sent to personal wallets, or other exchanges or platforms.
US-Based Live Customer Support
Ever tried reaching an actual human when you have an urgent issue with your personal crypto account? With most platforms, you’re stuck waiting hours, days, or even weeks, for an email response, if you get one at all!
At iTrustCapital, real support means real people. Our US-based live client support team is available to help you with your questions, so you’re never left in the dark. Whether it’s understanding your account, troubleshooting an issue, or general inquiries, our team is here to help when you need it most.
Because when it comes to accessing and/or securing your crypto, timely help shouldn’t be optional. It should be the standard procedure. We set the bar high by serving with excellence.
Your Crypto Assets Are Protected - Always held 1:1, Off-Balance Sheet, with US Banks and Institutional Custody Providers
At iTrustCapital, your assets are always yours.
With the Premium Custody Account (PCA), every client asset is maintained 1:1, off-balance sheet, with third-party US banks and custodians - meaning your funds are never used as collateral, leveraged, loaned out, commingled with corporate funds, or used for business operations.
Some crypto exchanges have operated on-balance sheet meaning they may use customer assets for lending, liquidity, or internal operations, eventually exposing clients to unnecessary risk. Premium Custody Accounts are built differently. Your assets are fully segregated, independently reconciled, and always protected, ensuring you maintain full ownership with secure access at all times.
The Premium Custody Account closed-loop structure is about safety, security and peace of mind. With an iTrustCapital PCA, you can buy, sell, and custody crypto with confidence, knowing your assets remain protected and never commingled. Our closed-loop system is designed for added protection; you can deposit and withdraw USD to and from your bank account only. This is not a bug, it is a feature that many of our clients have asked for.
