Bitcoin was created with the idea that we would each hold our own crypto assets. Of course, that custody was meant to happen in a digital wallet, where we have our own private keys, and which we can’t lose or we also lose access to our crypto. For many who are hard-core bitcoiners, or extremely crypto native, the idea of controlling your own wallet and holding your keys is a must. As more investors have wanted exposure to bitcoin and crypto, we have seen new products and services that move custody, or control of the keys, to a third party.
