There’s often confusion around the real difference between self-custody #wallets and #custodial wallets.

In this week’s education segment, I break it down clearly and simply — so you understand who controls your crypto, and why it matters.

🔹 Who holds the private keys
🔹 Full control of assets vs relying on a third-party custodian
🔹 Protocol risk vs counterparty risk
🔹 Ease of use vs full responsibility for security
🔹 Why institutions and beginners often approach custody differently

If you're active in crypto — whether as a retail user, founder, or institutional investor — understanding this distinction is essential.

Because who controls the keys ultimately controls the assets.
