Stretto has published a disclosure of the incident and has apparently been reaching out to affected parties. They will not release information to us at this time about who was affected, because it is not Swan data but rather their own, as part of the Prime Trust bankruptcy. For the avoidance of doubt, Stretto is not a Swan partner, and we did not send any client data or consent to any client data sharing with this company. Their disclosure notes that the data was from four different bankruptcy cases. Disclosure: https://www.stretto.com/security-incident/

We are still investigating. To be clear this is alleged leak is from a law company handling the prime trust case, not from Swan, and would be limited to data that prime trust had collected from clients prior to summer 2023.

It’s a long term plan. The dollar isn’t collapsing tomorrow despite what people on nostr fantasize about lol. Bretton woods took a long time to play out, so did petrodollar, this is setting up the next 100 years.

2024-05-20 18:53:42

Rereading @npub1trr…hdpu 's excellent expose on the Petrodollar recently and thinking: what would it seem like, if it seemed like (h/t @npub1sfh…ymqt ) the petrodollar system was coming to an end, and the US knew it, and was embracing cryptodollars as a replacement for petrodollars, not by accident but by design.
I think it would look a lot like some of the stable coins we are seeing today, exporting our inflation out into the world through making stablecoins available in hundreds of countries where our banking system doesn't reach, and driving up a demand for US treasuries by stablecoin issuers, which pushes down US treasury yields, allows issuance of cheap debt, etc. Just like the petrodollar did.
Paul Ryan's recent comments show a clear understanding of this picture.

Published my take here. We are fighting hard. I think this is a sign of bad things to come from govt. they have been saying it for years. They don’t like “unhosted” wallets and they want to monitor every tx. Now they are using fake news to make it real at the banking layer. https://x.com/skwp/status/1723444038932582414?s=46&t=0SvIPQLG1ahvJgMsn53NMA

“Your own infrastructure” has to be extremely robust. Huge security budget, audited infrastructure, soc1/soc2, and yes state oversight. We have customers who require qualified custodianship.
most who have “built their own” do not have what it takes to secure the type of volume we do. I hope they get there. Team bitcoin will be stronger with lots of robust options. We wrote up the nuances of what it takes here https://www.swanbitcoin.com/assessing-risk-in-bitcoin-custody/
But look out for some info real soon. There’s always been a plan. We do not share plans until they are fully baked :)

Nostr is one of the coolest freedom tech to come around since bitcoin. Very smart people are working in the space including several former Swans. When @npub1l2v…ajft left Swan to focus on nostr I knew it was a really big deal because he’s one of the smartest and most capable people I know. But I’ll leave that to the people like him. Swan’s mission first and foremost is as a Bitcoin on-ramp. Every company and individual should focus where they can do the best work. We will not spread ourselves thin where it doesn’t make sense.

Yep exactly why we write a whole article analyzing the different tradeoffs. Pretending that one is “obviously” better than the other is naive and the thought experiment proves it pretty well. As mentioned in the other thread, our clients are first party customers of the qualified custodian. We just have certain custodians we recommend for different use cases.

2023-08-22 18:35:49

- reply

Exactly right. If you trust someone you trust someone. By the way our clients sign terms of service agreement directly with a qualified trust company. For them it is a first party agreement, not a third party agreement. So you either trust a bitcoin startup that they’ve done all the right things, or you trust a qualified custodian, which has much more proof of work (soc2, billions in custody, track record, legal
framework for segregation of client funds, etc).

2023-08-22 18:07:52

- reply

CashApp is great. We tend to serve a lot of high net worth clients and also in some cases clients that require qualified custody for various reasons. Not sure you can go to coldcard with larger amounts on cashapp. I once got a big amount stuck there that took forever to take off.
Just want to point out, as a thought experiment, that if your first party is “bob’s totally trustworthy built in my garage bitcoin store” then maybe that’s not quite as good as a third party custodian with audits and so on. CashApp is trustworthy, because it’s a public company and has a large security budget. Minimizing time in custody is always a goal. If you can get what you need there quickly, that’s awesome.

2023-08-22 17:51:04

- reply

First party or third party there is always trust. You don’t know that the “first party” custodians have your coins. You don’t know if their security model is any better than a cold card in someone’s basement. You don’t know the security budget allocated to that. A startup will not have the same level of budget allocated to security as a qualified custodian. We use a framework of qualified custody including on chain observability, state regulation, soc2 audited, etc. We assess the risks of the various models here: https://www.swanbitcoin.com/assessing-risk-in-bitcoin-custody/
Ultimately, wire in and withdraw your bitcoin within 24h. During that 24h period they are in qualified custody with all of the above in place.

Several new initiatives launching to boost that even further ranging to the easiest to use multisig in the industry to gamification to encourage even more self custody.

Curious about this line of reasoning Matt. You usually post things with good reason. We do nothing except encourage self custody and have the highest withdrawal rate of any exchange or custodian that I know of. If you know someone who can beat 64% let me know.

Bitcoin is backed by math and physics. USD is backed by a government that spends infinitely and a Fed that has simplistic levers that purport to control a complex and chaotic system but instead create nth order effects nobody understands.
