Building Bitcoin-Native Financial Products
summary
Panelists outline concrete custody models and tradeoffs: collaborative multisig and MPC are deployed in production, with BitGo popularizing a two-of-three multisig pattern and Casa focusing on user education to migrate people to self‑custody. Real failures frame the risk — a developer error leads to a $600M hack and a separate backup lapse loses $75M, pushing firms toward hybrid custody plus audited procedures. Regulated custody exists at scale — firms operate seven regulated custodians globally — and ETFs, 24/7 trading friction, and on‑chain privacy gaps shape product priorities.
