But there are other crypto wallets that pay high interest.
If someone was to buy and hold, why would they get a wallet that doesn't pay interest?
I wanted to provide some clarity as to how these custodial wallet providers like Nexo actually get the rewards they pay out to their customers as interests for being the custodian of their crypto. It's pretty simple actually, they give your Bitcoins out to lenders and in turn, you get to earn from the proceeds. But that's not always the case and you might end up actually losing both your Bitcoins and the supposed interest.
Here's a link to the SEC filing against Gemini:

Afterall, the best way to get something done is to do it yourself. The same applies for taking responsibility for the security of your Bitcoin.
