What a shocker who would have guessed that!?

👀

“Prime Trust is ‘operating at a substantial deficit’ or may even be insolvent, the order said.”

Are they still Swans back end?

Nope they migrated to bitgo over the last month

So Strike and Swan both pulled the pin a month before this? Interesting

Toxic maxis smh...

Pretty crazy. It was a good move by them to get away from Prime Trust. Definitely a central point of failure to have so many companies relying on one custodian.

So

Swan AND strike both leave Prime Trust for Bitgo

Bitgo tries to acquire Prime Trust

Bitgo pulls pin on aquisition

Prime Trust gets halted by regulators

Someone knew something

Wow

“BitGo also processes approximately 20% of all global Bitcoin transactions by value.”

Cool cool

Galaxy Digital 😂

“Moreover, BitGo also provides access to DeFi, staking, NFT wallets, and beyond, and serves as the world’s sole custodian for WBTC, or wrapped Bitcoin.”

“BitGo offers the safest technology on the market and safeguards over 600 tokens across a wide variety of blockchains.”

:/

Wish I was suprised

Strike does their own custody now. Swan switched to Fortress, which I don’t know much about.

Isn’t Fortress the same dude who started Prime Trust lol

💯

So swan is in bed with this guy I guess 🤷‍♂️

Yeah who knows what’s going on.

Also I’m sure they all knew something and asked PT to open their books.

I don’t trust custodians as far as I can throw them.

My concern with PT was that so many businesses relied on them. Makes sense if you’re a small shop wanting to service a broad range of users (try doing anything in New York these days without being a billion dollar company)

As long as I can buy and pull on-chain I’m good.

Lol interesting.

Custodians are running fractional reserve scams?

Toxic mean close-minded maxis were right again.

Self custody only

How many times does this have to happen before it will sink in ?
