"Prioritize security over cost-cutting in asset custody Institutional survey data showed that concern about costs and fees when choosing crypto custodians collapsed from 49% to just 7% in a single year, while security and regulatory compliance shot up dramatically. The hosts interpret this as institutions learning that 'they're happy to pay a little bit more if it means getting that extra security,' and warn that single-custodian setups are 'practically begging for a single point of failure.' Anyone managing digital assets — individual or institutional — should resist the temptation to consolidate custody purely to save money.
