FTX was considered to be in this category for years. Question now is, when will the next "pretty reliable" custodian go the way of FTX? When, not if. I've been following the space very closely for years and the shenanigans involving other people's money are unreal. Are you aware the former CTO of Kraken was completely anonymous? Literally an avatar - try to find their name anywhere. Kraken employees didn't even know who they were - never came to the office, events, or even turned their camera on in meetings. I would imagine someone in payroll/HR or something knew who they were but maybe not, and they were getting paid in crypto? Kraken, also considered one of the "more reliable" custodians for years, where the entire platform was in the hands of some random person who could disappear in the night with no reputational harm. Speaking of Kraken, take a look at their executive turnover. Very reliable. I wanted to believe in the underlying technology for years but it's fundamentally and inextricably linked to other people's finances and there has been plenty of time for this kind of clownish behavior to work itself out. Crypto is almost old enough to have a Driver's License in the US which makes it a senior citizen in technology terms. It has had plenty of time to grow up but I think it's clear it never will.
