Custodial vs Non-Custodial Wallets
summary
Compares concrete tradeoffs: Ledger reports 5 million devices holding roughly 15–20% of crypto, while Wirex runs custodial rails in 40 countries plus a MPC sharded keys wallet that lets users withdraw a reconstructed private key. Demonstrations focus on hardware Nano custody, MPC signing, biometric keyless access, and debit-card fiat exits; regulators and compliance force custodial reviews for large Fiat spend, and solutions work unevenly depending on recovery, user literacy, and enforcement jurisdiction.
