SELF-CUSTODY CRYPTO TRADING
HOODBTC TRADE / WALLET-FIRST ACCESS
Trade while keeping control of your wallet access.
Self-custody trading means the user remains responsible for wallet keys and transaction authorization rather than handing those secrets to a trading website. HOODBTC Trade is designed around wallet-first access and does not require users to send a seed phrase or private key.

WHAT SELF-CUSTODY MEANS
Control of keys comes with responsibility.
Self-custody is about control of wallet credentials and approvals. It does not remove market, smart-contract, network, leverage or infrastructure risk. Good self-custody practice means protecting keys and reading every action before approval.
Verify the official destination
Use trade.hoodbtc.com and return to hoodbtc.com if you are unsure about a link.
Read wallet prompts
Check the network, destination and requested action before authorizing anything.
Review trade parameters
Confirm market, side, size, order type and leverage where applicable.
Monitor exposure
Self-custody does not protect a position from price movement or liquidation.
Close and withdraw deliberately
Use the supported workflow and verify the destination whenever funds move.
