Hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor's Chief Business Officer Danny Sanders stated that concentrating Bitcoin holdings in ETFs rather than user self-custody is the industry's "worst outcome." He said that there are currently about 600 million crypto users worldwide, but only about 10% choose self-custody, with only approximately 12 to 13 million users using hardware wallets. Sanders believes the industry should continue to lower the barriers to self-custody rather than rely on intermediary institutions. (TheBlock)

Only 10% of 600 million people self-custody; this ratio is very disheartening, and education has a long way to go.

Lowering the barrier is the right move, but ordinary people can't even securely store their seed phrases, so it's a dilemma.

ETFs are indeed convenient, but handing over the private key to someone else still feels a bit wrong—so a hardware wallet just feels more reassuring.
