Who Pays and Who Gains as Ledger Drama Fuels Multisig Adoption

The Ledger controversy has renewed scrutiny of hardware-wallet trust assumptions and pushed some Bitcoin users toward multisignature custody, which requires multiple keys to authorize a spend. Multisig can reduce reliance on any single device or provider, but adds setup, backup, and recovery complexity that users must manage. Wallet and security-service providers may gain from increased demand, while users bear the costs of migrating and maintaining more complex arrangements. The key implication is greater interest in distributed custody, not a guarantee of improved security for every user.
