  When a self-signed certificate is encountered in the certificate chain during a cryptocurrency transaction, it usually indicates that the certificate used to secure the connection is not issued by a trusted certificate authority. This can happen due to various reasons, such as using a self-signed certificate for testing purposes, or when a website or platform does not have a valid SSL certificate from a trusted authority. This error can affect the transaction process as it raises security concerns and may lead to potential vulnerabilities.
