First of all, I like “clean” dichotomies, which leads me to custodial & non-custodial, custodial & self-custodial doesn’t fulfill this as nicely.

The issue with custodial & non-custodial is that the favored option (non-custodial) is the negated form. Any negation carries a subtle negative connotation with it. Doesn’t matter for people who understood the concept, but for absolute beginners, such subtle nuances in language can make the difference on which option they’re leaning towards.

So, I would love to have a short, one-word, that describes the concept of self-custody, which we can then negate and we have the custodied option.

After some consideration, I think such term doesn’t actually exist. So, we either come up with a completely new word or .. we just stick with the current terms
