Word of the Month: Self custody
Self-custody of cryptocurrencies means that users have complete control over their private keys and digital assets without relying on a third party. This approach enhances security and privacy, as only the owner has access to the funds. Self-custody wallets, such as BitPay Wallet, provide features such as backup options and secure transaction signing, allowing users to manage their crypto assets independently and securely.
