Andrey Lazutkin, CTO of Tangem, argues that true self-custody—where users fully control their crypto assets without relying on third parties—is the gold standard for security in the digital asset space. He highlights the risks of centralized exchanges and custodial services, emphasizing that holding your own private keys is the only way to ensure true ownership and protection against hacks or mismanagement. The piece leans into Tangem’s hardware wallet solutions as a practical way to achieve this.
Editor’s Note: With crypto hacks and exchange collapses making headlines, this isn’t just tech jargon—it’s about who actually owns your money. Lazutkin’s push for self-custody taps into a growing distrust of middlemen in crypto. If you’re holding digital assets, this is a wake-up call to rethink where and how you store them.
