summary
Panel lays out concrete steps: a recent Coldcard RNG failure forces multi-vendor checks and makes multi-vendor multisig urgent; institutional paths include ETFs like IBIT and FBTC and jurisdictional structures (Cook Islands trusts) to shield capital; AnchorWatch-style vault insurance reaches $100M per vault while major exchanges insure < $1B against ~$400B custody exposure; lenders offer Bitcoin-backed loans so holders borrow instead of sell; practical portfolio rule proposed: a small multi-sig self-custody parachute and the rest in IBIT/FBTC allocation wrapped in legal and tax planning.
