Crypto purists have often argued that for one to truly own their crypto assets, they must be self-custodied, but this integration signifies that centralized exchanges still hold power in an industry that pushes its users to store their own keys.

“There are 5.3 billion internet users, 5 billion social media users, 500 million crypto owners, and there are on the order of 10 million people in secure self-custody,” said Rogers to CoinDesk in an interview. “That's a very small number. So for us things like this are about advancing that narrative.”
