"This development signals growing institutional recognition of specialized crypto custody as critical infrastructure, even for state actors. It highlights the systemic risks associated with self-custody by non-expert entities, potentially driving capital towards regulated, third-party solutions and influencing global standards for digital asset management and seizure protocols."

This follows a rather predictable incident involving exposed private keys and unauthorized asset transfers. Some lessons, it seems, are learned the hard way.
