What is segregation of customer funds and why does it matter?
Segregation of customer funds means a platform keeps client assets in separate accounts, distinct from its own operating money. It matters because mixed funds can be spent on company expenses or trapped if the firm fails, while segregated funds stay identifiable as yours. For example, if a platform holds your 5 ETH in a dedicated customer wallet rather than its corporate treasury, that holding is easier to trace and return. Qatobit treats clear custody and verifiable backing as part of how a research-led platform earns trust.
