Unlike traditional assets kept in a bank or on the stock market, self-custodied crypto is easily accessed, and transfers cannot be reversed. Funds are accessed via a private key controlled by the holders, meaning that a so-called $5 wrench attack — where criminals use physical violence or threats to force hodlers to hand over the keys — is a relatively easy method of theft.
