  One of the main risks associated with blockchain custody for cryptocurrencies is the possibility of hacking or theft. Since cryptocurrencies are stored on the blockchain, they are vulnerable to cyber attacks. Hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in the blockchain network or target individual users to gain unauthorized access to their funds. It is crucial for users to take necessary security measures, such as using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and storing their private keys securely.

  Another risk is the potential loss of funds due to user error. Unlike traditional banking systems, blockchain transactions are irreversible. If a user makes a mistake while sending or receiving cryptocurrencies, there is no way to reverse the transaction. This means that if a user accidentally sends funds to the wrong address or loses their private keys, they may permanently lose access to their funds.
