Is bitcoin self-custody safe? ETF alternative gains traction after Ledger security shock
A reported case of an unauthorized component being inserted into a Ledger hardware wallet has reignited debate over how to store bitcoin. The industry is split over whether self-custody, in which individuals manage assets directly, is safer than holding bitcoin through spot exchange-traded funds run by custodians. The incident highlighted physical security and supply-chain trust issues. Supporters of ETFs cite reduced security burdens, while critics warn that concentrating assets with a few custodians could create new single points of failure.
