@Kaile said in U.S. Custodial Staking vs. Non-Custodial Option:
In the U.S., custodial staking offers convenience but comes with the risk of losing key control. Non-custodial staking allows for full ownership of assets, requiring greater responsibility. Many prefer non-custodial options for long-term security and independence, prioritizing privacy and safety over ease of use.
Custodial staking may be easy to understand, but it does involve trusting an exchange with your private keys. Non-custodial staking gives me full control but adds technical complexity. How do I actually decide which trade-off fits my risk tolerance? Is the peace of mind of "my keys, my crypto" worth the stress of being my own IT department?
