No, your assets remain in a self custody wallet that only you control.
Juniper allows up to 70% Loan-To-Value (LTV). So, if you stake 10 ETH, you can borrow up to 7 ETH's worth of stablecoins. Note that the closer you get to the maximum LTV, the more likely it is that a fluctuation in the price of ETH could cause your collateral to be sold, repaying your entire stablecoin debt. See "What happens if the value of my asset declines?" for more details.
With Juniper, you use the yield generated by staking Ethereum to offset the cost of borrowing stablecoins. Because Juniper credit lines are overcollateralized (meaning you have more in staked assets than you have in debt), in many cases, your Ethereum generates more yield than your debt costs to service.

Make payments on your own schedule. Instead of setting fixed payment dates, Juniper focuses on maintaining a balance between your credit use and the value of your staked assets. See "How much can I borrow" for more details.
Unlike spending ETH directly on your crypto debit card, a Juniper line of credit spends stablecoins that are borrowed for $1 and are worth $1 when sold.
Self-custody wallets, also called non-custodial wallets, are digital wallets that let you store, manage, and trade cryptocurrencies without the help of a third party. You can get a mobile, desktop, hardware or paper wallet. MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet and hardware wallets from Ledger and Trezor are popular choices.
A simple way to consider the ratio between spending and assets is that if you spend 20% of the value of your assets, you can withstand an 80% decline in the value of your assets before you should repay your debt or add additional collateral. Should the value of your assets decline further, your collateral will be sold to cover your debt, and your line of credit will reset to zero until you deposit more assets.
Yes, your assets are in a self custodial wallet for which you have the keys - not us.
