The framing of ETFs and passkeys as alternatives to self-custody hardware wallets reflects how custody is being repackaged as a convenience product, with the trade-off shifting from device risk to counterparty and key-management risk. This matters most for holders who treat a hardware wallet as the default without weighing what they are actually outsourcing. Whether the market treats ETF exposure and multisig setups as comparable custody choices, rather than different risk categories, is the open question.
