In the fast-moving world of digital assets, the line between control and ownership is blurrier than ever. From collapses like FTX to billion-dollar hacks, the stakes of crypto custody have never been higher. At the core lies a simple but crucial truth: without your private key, you don’t truly own your coins.
Our report, Crypto Wallets and Custody: Who Really Owns Your Coins?, unpacks this dilemma. We dive into the technology behind wallets, the trade-offs between self-custody and third-party solutions, and the evolving regulatory frameworks shaping the future of digital asset security.

Whether you are a student, investor, policymaker, or simply curious about the future of finance, understanding custody is no longer optional; it is essential. Knowing how ownership is defined, protected, or lost can mean the difference between security and disaster.
This is why the Bocconi Students Fintech Society has made custody the focus of this research: because in crypto, knowledge is your first layer of defense.
