  • Publication number: 20250225505
    Abstract: Presented are computing systems for regulating the custody and transfer of digital assets, methods for making/using such systems, and memory-stored, computer-readable instructions for provisioning such systems. A method for governing control of digital assets includes a host platform's server receiving, from a user's personal computing device, a request to transfer a cryptographic digital asset from a custodial wallet provisioned by a third-party wallet platform. In response, the host server receives, from the third-party wallet platform's server, an encrypted private key enabling access to the custodial wallet. The private key is decrypted and used to create an encrypted transfer request by generating a transfer request to transfer the cryptographic digital asset from the custodial wallet to a new digital wallet and encrypting the transfer request.
