How To Actually Protect Your Crypto Users: 79% of Users Demand This Crypto Feature | Anthony Yeung, Chief Commercial Officer at CoinCover,

Trust remains the biggest barrier to crypto adoption. Security breaches, lost access, and the fear of irreversible mistakes keep 79% of users demanding better protection before they'll fully commit to crypto.

In this episode, I speak with Anthony Yeung, Chief Commercial Officer at CoinCover, the leader in digital asset protection, and we answer the critical question: How can FinTechs build crypto products that users actually trust?

Anthony shares insights on the real risks FinTech leaders need to understand when building crypto offerings, the layered protection approach that top institutions use, and why traditional banking security just doesn't transfer to the crypto world.

🔑 Key Highlights:

  • Why 79% of crypto users demand mandatory compensation schemes for protection
  • How 20% of all Bitcoin ($billions) is permanently lost due to access issues
  • Why your existing bank security partners won't work for crypto infrastructure
  • The layered defense approach that protects 600+ institutions globally
