Crypto Trading Security SOP
Institutional security protocols for digital asset desks, multi-sig custody, key management, and trade execution safeguards.
Operational security in cryptocurrency trading requires defense-in-depth architecture. The Crypto Trading Security SOP outlines standard procedures for trade desks, portfolio managers, and individual market makers.
Core Protocol Safeguards
- Multi-Signature Custody: Cold storage transfers mandate a minimum 3-of-5 quorum with hardware security keys (YubiKey / Ledger / Trezor).
- Whitelisted Withdrawal Addresses: Enforce mandatory 24-hour time-locks on any newly added recipient blockchain addresses.
- Dedicated Workstations: Trading operations must execute on isolated hardware devices free from personal browsing, extensions, or unvetted communication apps.
