Cryptocurrency custody solutions are independent storage and security systems used to hold large quantities of tokens. Custody solutions are one of the latest innovations to come out of the cryptocurrency ecosystem and have been expected to herald the entry of institutional capital into the industry. Here is a brief primer on why crypto needs custody solutions, and the types of custody solutions being offered in the market.

Why Does Crypto Need Custody Solutions?
The main utility of cryptocurrency custody solutions lies in the safeguarding of cryptocurrency assets. Private keys, which are used to conduct transactions or access crypto holdings, are a complex combination of alphanumerics. They are extremely difficult to remember and can be stolen or hacked. Online wallets are a potential solution but they have also proven susceptible to hacks. The same is true of cryptocurrency exchanges.

Other solutions include storing private keys offline, on paper or a hard disk (or other electronic equipment) that is not connected to the Internet. But losing physical custody (or either the paper or electronic equipment) is a real possibility, and in those cases recovery of the cryptocurrency holdings can be impossible. For individual holders of bitcoin, the possibility of losing private keys is a risk; for institutional investors, though, it represents an even more significant risk. The latter go to extreme lengths to guard against this danger. Some major investors have even been known to distribute portions of a paper wallet across numerous storage units in different locations.

The other important reason for the existence of cryptocurrency custody solutions is regulation. According to SEC regulation promulgated as part of the Dodd Frank Act, institutional investors that have customer assets worth more $150,000 are required to store the holdings with a “qualified custodian." The SEC’s definition of such entities includes banks and savings associations and registered broker-dealers. Futures commission merchants and foreign financial institutions are also included in this definition. Within the cryptocurrency ecosystem, very few mainstream banks offer custodian services. Kingdom Trust, a Kentucky-based custodian, was the largest such service for cryptocurrencies until it was purchased by BitGo, a San Francisco-based startup.

What Are Cryptocurrency Custody Solutions?
Put simply, cryptocurrency custody solutions are third party providers of storage and security services for cryptocurrencies. Their services are mainly aimed at institutional investors, such as hedge funds, who hold large amounts of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. The solutions generally incorporate a combination of hot storage, or crypto custody with connection to the Internet, and cold storage, or crypto custody that is disconnected from the Internet.

Both types of storage have benefits and drawbacks. For example, hot storage is connected to the Internet and, as a result, offers easier liquidity. But hot storage options may be prone to hacks due to online exposure. Cold storage solutions offer greater security. However, it may be difficult to generate liquidity from crypto holdings on short notice because of their offline nature. Vault storage is a combination of both types of cryptocurrency custody solutions in which the majority of funds are stored offline and can be accessed only using a private key.

Big Players in Cryptocurrency Custody
One of the emergent major players in the cryptocurrency custody space is Coinbase, the popular digital currency exchange. Coinbase entered the institutional-grade custody solutions area relatively recently, buying up acquisitions like California's Keystone Capital, a registered broker. In August of 2019, Coinbase acquired the institutional business of storage provider Xapo as well. Swiss bank Vontobel also launched a Digital Asset Vault aimed at institutional investors in the crypto space as well.

The Future Of Cryptocurrency Custody
Cryptocurrency custody solutions have grown in popularity as analysts and institutional investors have increasingly viewed them as a bridge between the traditional institutional investment market and the shifting cryptocurrency space. At least two developments are expected to affect the future of cryptocurrency custody.

The first one is the entry of big players. Established names, such as Goldman Sachs (GS), are conspicuously absent from the list of names offering cryptocurrency solutions. Their entry could shake up the nascent market. Some of that is already happening with Coinbase and Fidelity Investments taking the lead in offering or designing cryptocurrency custody services.

The second one is regulatory clarity. Security provisions pertaining to cryptocurrency storage is absent from current regulation. Not only that, businesses are still unclear about the regulations pertaining to cryptocurrencies themselves. The industry will evolve only after regulators step in and set rules for the playing field.

Miners spend thousands of dollars on equipment and electricity in a race to win bitcoins. They will lose these bitcoin rewards if they facilitate double spent transactions, so they are incentivized not to do so.майнить ethereum bitcoin ads kaspersky bitcoin blender bitcoin

With physical currency, this isn't an issue: once you hand someone a $20 bill to buy a bottle of vodka, you no longer have it, so there's no danger you could use that same $20 bill to buy lotto tickets next door. While there is the possibility of counterfeit cash being made, it is not exactly the same as literally spending the same dollar twice. With digital currency, however, as the Investopedia dictionary explains, 'there is a risk that the holder could make a copy of the digital token and send it to a merchant or another party while retaining the original.'работа bitcoin Since the DragonMint T1 is so popular, the manufacturers are struggling to keep up with the demand for them.

Participants in the system had to trust that the central issuer of the digital currency was not inflating the supply, and that its systems wouldn’t fail, losing transaction data. Nakamoto believed that Bitcoin would be most useful as a peer-to-peer network wherein the participants in the network could operate ad hoc, without knowing one another’s real names or locations, and 'without any trust' between them. This, he believed, would create a network where participants could operate privately, and could not be shut down by regulating or bankrupting a central operating group.#11 Identity managementbitcoin сбор 100 bitcoin Detecting ForksThere is a general belief that over time it will become more and more difficult to make changes to the base protocol as the ecosystem grows. This is because there will be fewer and fewer changes that are uncontroversial to the wider variety of perspectives and incentives of the user base. As such, it will be more likely that improvements will have to take place in other layers built on top of Bitcoin.china cryptocurrency конвертер ethereum ethereum телеграмм faucet cryptocurrency
