Trezor Executive Warns of Long-Term Risks from Bitcoin ETFs
- Custody Risks: Trezor's Danny Sanders highlighted that out of approximately 600 million cryptocurrency users globally, only about 10% utilize self-storage methods, indicating a diminishing interest in direct control over private keys, which could undermine Bitcoin's core principles.
- Hardware Wallet Usage: The number of hardware wallet users is currently between 12 million and 13 million, reflecting significant challenges in user experience and security, leading many investors to prefer intermediary solutions like exchanges or ETFs for market participation.
- ETF Inflows: Since their launch in 2024, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $53 billion in inflows, significantly increasing institutional investor stakes in Bitcoin; however, this trend may weaken users' desire for direct control over their private keys.
- Future Industry Outlook: Sanders emphasized that the industry should focus on enhancing the safety and convenience of individual custody rather than relying entirely on ETF structures, as such a shift could undermine the decentralized asset concept and represent a “worst-case scenario” for the industry.
