Charles Hoskinson, speaking at Consensus 2026, shared his vision for the future of cryptocurrency wallets, suggesting they will be integrated into iPhones and Android phones. According to NS3.AI, Hoskinson highlighted the potential of phone security hardware to enable seedless self-custody for mainstream users. He noted that while smartphones could offer convenience, dedicated hardware wallets would continue to provide stronger isolation for larger balances. Additionally, FIDO reported that there are currently 5 billion active passkeys globally, indicating a significant shift towards enhanced digital security measures.
