The first time Square CEO Jack Dorsey mentioned the possibility of building a crypto wallet was in June. He said the project will be based on the partnership with the community and will use a non-custodial solution.
Hardware wallets keep the user’s private keys on USB or other hardware devices. They are considered to be more protected despite making all transactions online. Jack Dorsey is a huge supporter of crypto. His Twitter bio includes #bitcoin.
At the Bitcoin 2021 Conference, Dorsey even said if he weren't at Square or Twitter, he would be working on Bitcoin.
