This new model of trust is not the only one. For platforms bridging the gap between traditional finance and crypto, security often relies on the very institutional principles that a decentralized model seeks to disrupt. Kevin Maloney, CEO of iTrustCapital , emphasizes that for his platform, trust is built through proactive, centralized measures. “Exceptional service and transparency are the foundation of trust and security in digital assets, especially as cyber threats grow,” he explains. Maloney highlights a "closed-loop system" that is specifically designed to prevent common hacks. “Unlike traditional platforms where assets can be quickly moved to external wallets, our closed-loop system eliminates that exposure,” he adds. “There are no outside wallet connections, which means schemes like the recent hacks that swapped wallet addresses at the last second to drain funds cannot impact our clients.” This approach, combined with “institutional-grade custody,” gives investors the same standard of protection they expect from legacy financial systems. As Maloney concludes, “trust” isn’t just in our name. It’s something we know has to be earned. © 2025 Bankrate, LLC. A Red Ventures company. All Rights Reserved.
