The year is 2023 and crypto prices are rising, so why are we approaching private key management like the pirates secured gold in the 1700s?


In this episode, Ian Andrews (CMO, Chainalysis) gets a crash course in crypto custody from Diogo Mónica (Co-Founder and President) of Anchorage Digital who are the industry leaders when it comes to crypto custody for institutions.
