What would happen to a wallet when the company hosting the wallet closes down?
Since most are focused on telling you about the risks when the company closes down, that shouldn't be your biggest fear at all!
If a company closes down just because it wants to end its business, there you might still have the chance to get your funds out till a certain date, usually a few months before the wallets become inaccessible!
But, that's a good ending scenario!
Using a wallet that you don't control will for sure not end only with a company closing down, it might end with
- the said company gets hacked - you lose your coins
- the said company getting "
hacked" - you lose your coins
- the said company is bad at business, FTX style - you lose your coins
- your account gets hacked but the company denies it's their fault - you lose your coins
So there are a hundred more bad ending scenarios other than just shutting down!
