The Cost of Crypto Custody Services

The average monthly price of using CSS for a small project, excluding installation and setting up, is US$5000-10000. In addition to this, to use all the functionality of its services, in some cases you will need to keep permanent fund reserves of US$500 000 – 1 000 000.
