Buying tokenized NVIDIA stock is only half the job; the real question Indian crypto traders are asking is can you hold NVIDIA stock in a crypto wallet? If you’re used to moving crypto into your own wallet the moment it lands, self-custody for tokenized US stocks like NVIDIA feels like the obvious next step.
Whether it actually works that way depends entirely on how the token is structured… and that structure changes what “owning NVIDIA” even means.
This blog assumes you already understand the basic distinction between owning NVDA shares and holding a tokenized NVDA position; if not, start with NVIDIA stock vs tokenized NVIDIA stock or our complete overview of what NVIDIA NVDA stock is.
Crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are natively self-custodial by design; the whole point of a private key is that you, not an exchange, control the asset. Tokenized stocks borrow blockchain infrastructure to become tradable, which naturally raises the question of whether the same self-custody logic applies to them.
In practice, it’s more complicated, because a tokenized stock is a wrapper representing exposure to something off-chain (a real equity share). That off-chain dependency changes what “holding it in your own wallet” actually means.
On-chain, transferable tokenized stocks: Some tokenized-stock structures (issued as standard token formats on public blockchains) genuinely can be withdrawn to a compatible self-custody wallet, similar to any other token. If you hold this kind of token in your own wallet, you control the private key, and the token sits on-chain under your address; but you’re still relying entirely on the issuer’s backing and redemption mechanics for that token to retain its value relative to the real stock. Self-custody of the token doesn’t remove issuer/counterparty risk; it only changes who holds the token itself.
Exchange-native tokenized positions: Other tokenized-stock products (including how tokenized US Stocks are typically offered on Spot trading platforms like Mudrex) are held within your exchange account rather than issued as a freely transferable, wallet-compatible token. In this model, your NVDAB position lives in your Mudrex portfolio the same way a crypto spot holding does on any centralized exchange: you can trade it, but it isn’t designed to be withdrawn to an external self-custody wallet the way a native token might be.
Before assuming you can move a tokenized NVDA position off-platform, it’s worth checking directly which model applies to the specific product you’re using. This varies by issuer and platform, and getting it wrong (assuming self-custody is available when it isn’t) is the kind of mistake worth avoiding.
| Self-custody wallet | Exchange-held position | |
| Who controls the asset | You, via your private key | The exchange, on your behalf |
| Convenience for active trading | Lower; requires moving funds back to trade | Higher; trade instantly within the platform |
| Exposure to exchange-specific risk | Reduced | Present (standard exchange counterparty risk) |
| Exposure to issuer/backing risk | Still present | Still present |
| Typical use case | Long-term holding, minimizing platform dependency | Active trading, quick entry/exit |
Neither is objectively “safer” in every dimension; self-custody removes exchange counterparty risk but adds the responsibility (and risk) of managing your own keys, while exchange-held positions trade convenience for reliance on the platform.

Tokenized US Stocks on Mudrex Spot, including NVDAB, are designed for active spot trading within the Mudrex ecosystem; the same portfolio where you already hold and trade crypto. This structure prioritizes ease of trading (buy, sell, and manage your NVDA exposure without moving assets in and out of external wallets) over external self-custody. If your goal is fast, flexible price exposure to NVIDIA alongside your existing crypto activity, this exchange-native model is built for exactly that use case.
If your interest is short-term directional trading rather than holding a position at all ( including the ability to short NVIDIA) that’s a different product again: NVDA/USDT perpetual futures, which are derivative contracts rather than a holdable token, so the wallet-custody question doesn’t apply to them in the same way. What does apply is leverage and liquidation risk, which is worth understanding fully before trading.
What to Check Before Assuming You Can Self-Custody Any Tokenized Stock
And once you have, you’ll be in a good enough place to make the right decisions.
It depends on the platform and product structure. Some tokenized stocks are issued as wallet-compatible tokens; others, including how tokenized US Stocks are structured on Mudrex Spot, are held within your exchange account rather than being freely withdrawable to an external wallet.
Self-custody can reduce exchange-specific counterparty risk, but it does not remove issuer or backing risk tied to the underlying tokenized-stock structure. Both custody models carry some form of counterparty exposure.
NVDAB is structured for spot trading within the Mudrex platform, alongside your existing crypto holdings, prioritizing ease of trading over external wallet withdrawal.
A wallet gives you direct control of the token via your private key, while an exchange holds the position on your behalf. Both still depend on the tokenized stock’s underlying backing structure for its value to track the real stock.
Yes. On Mudrex, NVDAB (spot) and NVDA/USDT (perpetuals) are tradable entirely within the app, without needing a separate crypto wallet at all.
