CoinJieNet news, CryptoMichNL said that self-custody is especially important right now. MICA regulation took effect on July 1, 2026. If assets are stored on unlicensed exchanges, the assets face risk. He pointed out that many traders hold assets in mobile wallets without realizing the potential risks, and that there are multiple software vulnerabilities and physical security hazards. He emphasized that ensuring mnemonic phrase safety is only part of protecting assets, and that using a secure touchscreen device is crucial.

Mnemonic security is just the basics; the real headache is the phishing risk during everyday interactions. Anti-tampering design for touchscreen devices is more important than you think
