Self-custody surge: 70K Bitcoin have been sent to self-custody since the collapse of SVB

Bitcoin investors demand greater control with surge in self-custody withdrawals as significant BTC volume leaves markets.

Quick Take

  • Self-custody of Bitcoin has continued to grow rapidly in the past week due to concerns in the banking sector.
  • Being able to control your Bitcoin is one of its advantages, as opposed to being at the whim of a bank โ€” where you have no control of their lending capabilities.
  • Yesterday saw one of the biggest % changes in self-custody in the past six months โ€” while roughly 70,000 BTC have been withdrawn into self-custody since the collapse of SVB on Friday.
