Trezor’s leader identifies the primary risk for cryptocurrency investors in 2026., 2026/03/09 16:06:50

The head of Trezor, Matej Zak, indicated that the primary risk for crypto investors this year will not be market volatility, but rather the method of asset storage.
Speaking on the “Wolf of Wall Street” podcast hosted by trader Scott Melker, the executive noted that despite advancements in security protocols, centralized platforms where most investors keep their assets “operate like traps.”
“The biggest mistake investors make is their belief that spot Bitcoin ETFs and centralized exchanges are completely secure. People buy ETFs or leave their funds on exchanges. Yet, no one asks the famous question: who actually holds the keys?” Zak lamented.
If quantum computers reach a level of power capable of breaching the Bitcoin network, it could lead to technologies that might undermine the entire global digital security framework, from bank accounts to nuclear codes, Zak warns.
According to him, investors must recognize that the safety of their capital relies solely on themselves, rather than on the assurances from major crypto exchanges, which are periodically targeted by hackers.
