≈ RELATED Self-custody infrastructure vulnerabilities like the Coldcard entropy bug undermine user confidence and drive migration to centralized exchanges BEARISH BTC ≈ RELATED Custody arrangements for bitcoin are a critical consideration due to differing practices and protections across providers. NEUTRAL BTC ≈ RELATED Bitcoin ETFs transfer custody risk from individuals to institutions rather than eliminating it, introducing counterparty and operational risks BEARISH BTC ≈ RELATED Self-custody security failures are pushing ordinary investors toward professional custodians and regulated investment products instead of managing private keys themselves NEUTRAL BTC ≈ RELATED The fundamental security of Bitcoin self-custody depends entirely on proper implementation of cryptographic processes, and flawed random-number generation can compromise even offline storage solutions BEARISH BTC
SOURCE EVIDENCE
