The Coinbase Allegations Raise a Bigger Question About $BTC Custody.
BlockTower Capital founder Ari Paul has accused Coinbase of losing approximately $25 million in assets And concealing major security breaches.
Coinbase has denied the allegations, and the claims remain disputed.
But the bigger issue goes beyond one company.
Who controls the private keys?
Who authorizes withdrawals?
Can clients independently verify their assets?
What happens if a custodian fails?
Bitcoin was built around verification, not blind trust.
Yet, when billions in assets depend on a single institution, transparency becomes a critical concern.
The future of institutional $BTC adoption may depend on:
►Stronger custody systems
►Independent verification
►Multi-signature security
These eliminates single points of failure.
