Rise of RWAs Spawns Custody Debate in Crypto Industry

Henri Arslanian explores the custody debate in an interview with Dmitry Tokarev, founder of Bronwallet. The discussion centers on the rise of Regulated Wallet Accounts (RWAs) and their impact on crypto self-custody solutions.

Arslanian examines whether RWAs steer users toward third-party custodians or promote self-custody. According to Tokarev, RWAs are driving a shift towards institutional adoption and increased demand for blockchain asset management options.

The Bitcoin market volatility has reshaped institutional preferences, with some institutions opting for RWA custody over self-custody. Bronwallet's founder emphasizes the need for more education on crypto self-custody solutions to ensure investors understand their options.
