Trezor executive: Handing over all Bitcoin to ETFs would be the worst outcome for the industry, undermining the core principle of self-custody

According to The Block, executives from hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor stated that the market's trend of fully pushing Bitcoin towards ETFization may pose a long-term risk to the core principles of the crypto industry. According to the company's Chief Business Officer Danny Sanders during the BTC Prague event, the current global crypto user base is approximately 600 million, but only about 10% of users choose to self-custody their assets, with only about 12 to 13 million users using hardware wallets.Since the launch of the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF in 2024, which has attracted over $53 billion in inflows, institutional allocation of Bitcoin has significantly increased. However, Sanders pointed out that this trend may also weaken users' behavior of directly holding private keys. He believes that self-custody is one of the core attributes of the Bitcoin system, but there are still significant challenges in terms of user experience and security thresholds, leading more users to prefer participating in the market through custodial tools like exchanges or ETFs.Sanders emphasized that the industry should focus on improving the usability and security of self-custody, rather than simply accepting the path of "putting Bitcoin into ETFs." He stated that if the long-term evolution leads to an ETF-dominated holding structure, it would undermine the foundational logic of Bitcoin as a decentralized asset, which could be the "least ideal outcome" for the industry.

Trump said he would make a "final decision" on the Iran issue. American journalists interpreted that Trump hinted at approving the agreement

According to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Trump stated on social media: "Iran must agree that they will never have nuclear weapons or nuclear bombs. The Strait of Hormuz must be opened immediately in both directions, with no tolls, allowing shipping traffic to pass unrestricted. All mines (bombs)------if any------will be cleared (we have previously utilized our excellent underwater mine-sweeping ships to clear a large number of such mines by detonation. Iran will be responsible for immediately clearing and/or detonating any remaining mines------there shouldn't be too many!).Those ships that have been stranded in the strait due to our astonishing and unprecedented naval blockade------given that the blockade has now been lifted------can begin to "set sail for home"! The concentrated materials that are buried deep underground------sometimes referred to as "nuclear dust"------are currently being pressed under a mountain that has nearly collapsed (this is due to the powerful B-2 bomber airstrikes we launched 11 months ago); these materials will be excavated by the United States and will be thoroughly destroyed in close coordination and cooperation with Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Until further notice, there will be no financial transactions between the two parties.In addition, the two sides have reached a consensus on other issues that are far less important than the above matters. I am now heading to the "situation room" for a meeting to make the final decision." AXIOS reporters interpret that Trump hinted at an imminent approval of the Iran agreement.
