The brokerage wants instant trading while its board needs a defensible custody boundary.
Server-side signing protects transaction speed, while explicit authorization and recovery limits protect regulatory approval.
Who you’d be doing this for
“The board keeps asking who holds the keys when something goes wrong, and I need one answer.”
Nanami Suzuki · General Counsel
She advises a regulated brokerage preparing to launch embedded wallets for retail investors.
What is at stake
A regulated brokerage may abandon a $1.5 million annual commitment because its board cannot accept the proposed signing boundary. You must weigh trading speed against terms that Risk, Compliance, Legal, and the buyer can all defend.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- trading speed vs custody clarity
- quarterly revenue vs durable contract precedent
- buyer board approval vs product boundary
- integrated infrastructure vs perceived dependency
