Over 1 billion dollars is gone in 2026, and not one satoshi of it was stolen by breaking Bitcoin.
KelpDAO lost 292 million. A Solana DEX lost 285 million. This week Gnosis Pay's safety delay got bypassed and TesseraDAO lost 2.5 million. Different chains, same story: the money was sitting somewhere a smart contract could reach it.
Here is the part nobody in Singapore wants to hear. Your coins on any exchange are only as safe as their custody, and your coins in a DeFi protocol are only as safe as the last audit. Both are someone else's risk model, not yours.
So where should a long term stack actually live? Off the chain that gets drained. A Trezor Safe 3 holds your keys offline, where no bridge exploit, no delay-module bug, and no 3am "urgent migration" can touch them.
Not your keys, not your coins, but there's more to it than that. The coins you are not actively using do not belong on anything connected.
What is the largest amount you have ever left on an exchange "just for a few days"?
