$38 Million Coldcard Hack Rocks Self-Custody Trust
A recent exploit of Coldcard's $38 million so far has shaken faith in self-custody wallets, leading some investors to consider alternative options like ETFs.
The hack targeted users' private keys and sensitive data, raising concerns about the security of cold storage solutions.
Coldcard's self-custody model allows users to manage their own private keys and cryptocurrencies directly on the wallet. However, this approach has its drawbacks, including increased responsibility for users to secure their assets.
The exploit has sparked a debate among investors about the trade-offs between security, convenience, and control.
