Digital Asset Key Management: From Security Control to Financial Infrastructure
What's happening
The focus on digital asset key management has shifted from pure wallet-level security to being treated as part of financial infrastructure for exchanges, custodians, banks and other platforms, according to Fintech News Singapore. At the same time several outlets report that the next phase of crypto adoption hinges on 'spendability', whether cryptocurrencies and stablecoins can be used in everyday commerce, and that many consumers still lack awareness of stablecoins (70% of credit union members fall short).
