The new feature lets non-Web3 investors buy and hold tokenized assets using just an email and password—while Spydra handles wallets, keys, and on-chain complexity in the background. Bengaluru, India — January 27, 2026 — Spydra, a low-code asset tokenization platform, today announced the release of its new Custodial Wallet for Investors capability for public-chain token stores—designed to remove one of the biggest adoption hurdles in tokenized investing: the requirement that every investor must first become a “crypto power user.” For many first-time investors, the path to buying tokens still involves installing browser wallets, managing seed phrases, understanding network fees, and handling irreversible transactions—steps that are unfamiliar to mainstream users and can result in permanent loss if credentials are misplaced. Industry research highlights how common account lockouts and security incidents can be when users must manage keys and recovery themselves.

Spydra’s new custodial wallet feature is built to make tokenized investing feel closer to familiar Web2 experiences—investors can sign up and invest with email/password flows, while issuers retain the ability to meet compliance requirements such as KYC, and the platform orchestrates wallet creation and key management securely behind the scenes.

The problem: Web3 onboarding is still too hard for mainstream investors Even as tokenized assets and on-chain marketplaces mature, the “last mile” user experience remains a bottleneck. A widely discussed barrier is seed phrase management—users are expected to secure and recover assets with cryptographic secrets that have no “forgot password” equivalent. User studies and reporting continue to show conceptual misunderstandings, unsafe practices, and lockouts tied to recovery phrases and key handling.

Kaspersky’s “Crypto Threats 2023” research found that 32% of respondents who own or have owned crypto said they lost access to a crypto-related account, highlighting the real-world impact of complex access and recovery models. Reuters has also reported a surge in wallet recovery requests as users get locked out due to forgotten passwords, lost devices, missing 2FA, or misplaced seed phrases.

Spydra’s solution: Custodial Wallets for Investors (“Wallet-less Onboarding”) Spydra’s Custodial Wallet for Investors is the cornerstone of its “wallet-less onboarding” strategy for token stores on public chains. The feature enables issuers and marketplace operators to offer a frictionless investment experience for non-technical users, letting them buy and manage assets using only an email and password.

From the investor’s point of view, the wallet is “invisible”: • Fiat purchase first: Investor selects an asset and pays using familiar methods (e.g., card payments via Stripe).

• Instant wallet provisioning: On the first successful transaction, the system automatically creates a custodial wallet linked to the investor’s account.

• Direct asset delivery: Tokens are transferred into the newly created custodial address.

• Simple portfolio view: Investors see holdings, value, and transaction history through a simplified dashboard rather than raw on-chain tooling.

Security and compliance foundations Spydra’s custodial wallet infrastructure is designed around three principles: event-driven creation, compliance gating, and managed recovery.

• Event-driven wallet creation: Wallet provisioning is triggered specifically by the investor’s first transaction.

• KYC/identity verification checks: The system confirms the user has completed required KYC for the token store before proceeding.

• Private key management in a secure environment: Spydra generates and stores private keys within secure infrastructure so keys do not leave the protected environment—reducing the chance of investors losing access due to mishandled seed phrases.

• Account recovery like Web2: Because keys are managed by the platform, investor recovery can follow standard email-based flows when passwords are forgotten.

• ERC-3643 alignment: Custodial wallets integrate with ERC-3643-style compliance, with each wallet bound to the investor’s digital identity (ONCHAINID).

Executive quote: “Tokenization will only scale when the experience is as simple as any mainstream financial app,” said Manish Tewari, Co-founder of Spydra. “Our custodial wallet feature removes the biggest friction points—wallet installs, seed phrases, and confusing on-chain steps—so issuers can onboard everyday investors with familiar login and payment flows, while still enforcing identity and compliance requirements.” Availability The Custodial Wallet for Investors feature is available for Spydra Token Stores on public chains as part of Spydra’s public-chain offering and documentation.
