★Institutions are paying Bitcoin custodians for the privilege of added risk
"Institutions embracing Bitcoin are often reintroducing traditional financial risks by relying on custodians. This practice undermines Bitcoin's core benefit of eliminating counterparty risk, potentially exposing portfolios to unnecessary vulnerabilities in a supposedly secure asset. Investors need to understand if they're truly getting the decentralized safety they're paying for."
The Big Market Report Take
It seems some institutions are paying a premium to reintroduce the very counterparty risk Bitcoin was designed to eliminate. You'd think the whole point of self-custody was, well, self-custody. A curious way to pay for "safety."
