BitGo: A Secure Custody Solution for Digital Assets

The Importance of Asset Security

In the dynamic realm of digital assets, security is paramount. At Wealth99, we don't just prioritize your financial well-being – we make it our mission. We understand that your wealth signifies more than figures and algorithms. It embodies your aspirations, ambitions, and forthcoming triumphs. So, as part of our commitment to your wealth journey with us, we forge partnerships firmly rooted in trust and guidance.  

Redefining Custody: Beyond Safekeeping

Custody is more than storage; it's the fusion of cutting-edge technology and unwavering security. Our philosophy centres on safeguarding your assets, nurturing growth, and paving the way for a secure digital future.

Navigating Three Options for Custody

Understanding the landscape of digital assets custody options is key for investors. Here's a simple guide: 

1. Self-Custody: Though attractive for its autonomy, self-custody is a high-risk option. Managing coins or tokens personally, through devices like Trezor or Ledger, often leads to lost passwords or devices, accounting for a staggering estimated loss of 20% or $100 billion in Bitcoin. We counsel caution and typically advise against this unpredictable avenue.
2. Exchange Custody: This is when you leave your assets on a crypto exchange. Convenient but potentially perilous, exchange custody tempts many. Yet the lack of licensing, insurance, and independence in many platforms poses significant risk. We caution this approach considering the risk of exchange hacks.
3. Licensed Custody (our pick): Licensed custody offers the stability, safety, and assurance that investments demand, preserving assets with an independent, insured, licensed custodian.
