AML & Travel Rule

Self-Hosted Wallet

A crypto-asset wallet where the user controls the private keys directly — outside CASP custody.

Definition

A self-hosted wallet (also called non-custodial or unhosted) is one where the user holds the private keys directly rather than entrusting them to a CASP. The TFR sets specific data-collection rules for transfers between CASPs and self-hosted wallets above EUR 1,000.
