It is the same. Crypto exchanges can also freeze your assets when you hold them in that exchange. And actually this is a good thing, the accounts of fraudsters, thieves and scammers should absolutely be frozen and confiscated. Crypto companies are trying to promote this idea that because they've sprinkled some crypto magic on their banking product, they don't have to follow laws, and by doing this all the fraud will just all suddenly disappear for no clear reason. That overwhelmingly isn't true. Don't let them get away with this.
"Self-custody" in crypto is also a lie, there's no such thing. All activity on a blockchain is completely dependent on the miners to run the network.
