Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas commented on the Coldcard security incident, questioning whether a company of only about five people is suited to handle Bitcoin storage responsibilities. Eric Balchunas noted that the number of Coldcard employees seems implausibly low. He pointed out that if a bank had only five employees and was headquartered in Canada, would people be willing to entrust it with their life savings? Eric Balchunas believes that in the crypto industry this is seen as a feature, but from a traditional finance perspective, it would be a red flag.
