    Custody & risk

    • If the issuer disappears
      Funds held in the self-custodial wallet are not FDIC insured.
    • Regulatory risk
      As regulations around stablecoins evolve, Fuse's operations could be affected
    • Market risk
      No FDIC insurance on card account funds unlike traditional bank deposits
    • Counterparty risk
      Yield from Fuse Earn comes from DeFi protocols (Drift and Kamino) rather than bank lending, introducing smart contract risk

    Fuse provides a true self-custody solution using a multi-key (2-out-of-3) smart contract wallet on Solana, developed by Squads Labs. Users retain full control of their private keys and funds until the moment of purchase. The platform cannot access user funds beyond authorized transaction limits.
