🏦 What is an SKR?
An SKR (Safe Keeping Receipt) is a document issued by a bank or vault institution that confirms the safekeeping of a specific asset on behalf of a client. It is not ownership, but proof of custody. It is commonly used in high-value transactions, trade finance, and private placement programs.
