Why Self-Custody Will Always Win | with Brandon Millman
At Breakpoint 2025 in Abu Dhabi, Phantom CEO Brandon Millman argued that self-custody wallets will become the primary gateway to crypto as the industry shifts from speculative markets to real-world payments and consumer finance. He credited Solana’s developer-friendly tech for enabling Phantom’s user-focused design and said improving U.S. regulation and broader fintech adoption of stablecoins set the stage for a 2026 breakout in payments use cases. Millman outlined a three-phase evolution: exchanges as initial on-ramps, wallets replacing exchanges as the entry point to on‑chain activity, and wallets ultimately supplanting mainstream consumer finance apps. Phantom is positioning itself as a cross-chain, user-first wallet to capture that transition.
