Word of the Month: Self-Custody
Self-custody in cryptocurrency means users have complete control over their private keys, and therefore, their digital assets, without relying on third parties. This approach enhances security and privacy, as only the owner has access to their funds. Self-custody wallets, such as the BitPay Wallet, offer features like backup options and secure transaction signing, empowering users to manage their crypto assets independently and securely.
