“Be Your Own Bank” AMA Key Conversation Highlights
The recent AMA featuring STONfi sparked an interesting discussion around one of crypto’s biggest themes: self-custody.
During the session, participants explored why more users are moving toward controlling their own assets and how decentralized exchanges are shaping the future of trading.
Some of the key topics discussed included:
• Why self-custody is becoming more important in the crypto space
• The evolving role of DEX platforms compared to centralized exchanges
• Early ecosystem opportunities for users
• The responsibilities and risks that come with managing your own crypto
As DeFi continues expanding across The Open Network, conversations like this help users better understand the tools and responsibilities that come with true financial ownership.
Missed the AMA? The discussion is still worth catching up on.
