Is Cresta Invest safe?
Yes, Cresta Invest prioritizes security by using advanced encryption, cold wallet storage, and multi-layered protection protocols to safeguard your assets.
Is Cresta Invest regulated?
Yes, Cresta Invest operates under strict regulatory frameworks and complies with international financial laws to ensure transparency and security for its users.
Who owns my assets?
You are the beneficial owner of your assets (crypto assets and metals) and we hold them in custody, as a trustee. It’s your investment, your assets - we just keep them safe. All assets are held in a highly-secure environment. As a result, if something goes wrong, you will not be treated as an unsecured creditor and you don’t risk losing your assets. Instead, you assert the right of separation under Austrian law. For Cresta Stocks we have implemented a pledge system and all underlyings are held with a licensed custodian for securities (please refer to our prospectus). So whether you want to move it, trade it, invest it or grow it; it’s your investment, your choice.
Do we speculate with client assets at all?
No, Cresta Invest does not speculate with client assets. All funds remain under your full control and are never used for trading, lending, or any other financial activities.
How does ownership of the assets included in the crypto indices work?
When you invest in crypto indices with Cresta Invest, you own a proportional share of the underlying assets. These assets are securely held in custody, and you can manage, trade, or withdraw them at any time.
Do we plan on integrating hardware wallet interoperability?
Yes, Cresta Invest is actively exploring hardware wallet interoperability to provide users with enhanced security and direct control over their assets. Future updates will include seamless integration with leading hardware wallets.
What does cold wallet storage mean? How does it work?
Cold wallet storage refers to storing cryptocurrency offline, making it more secure from online threats. It works by keeping your private keys (used to access your crypto) on a device not connected to the internet, such as a hardware wallet or paper wallet. To make a transaction, you connect the wallet briefly to a device, sign the transaction, and then disconnect it, keeping your keys safe from online attacks.
How does this work when Staking is involved?
When staking is involved, cold wallet storage can still be used, but you need to ensure that your cold wallet supports the staking process. Typically, you’ll need to temporarily connect your cold wallet to a staking platform to delegate or stake your assets. After staking, your private keys remain offline, securing your funds. However, you might not be able to manage staking rewards or claim them without temporarily connecting the cold wallet to the internet again. This ensures that your crypto stays secure while still earning rewards from staking.
