With Kresus Inheritance, we\u2019re giving users a secure and affordable way to protect their legacy and ensure the wealth they\u2019ve built can be passed on to the next generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1914\" data-end=\"2000\">The service is priced at $99.99 per year and is integrated into the Kresus wallet.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"198294f\" data-start=\"2002\" data-end=\"2038\">How the inheritance service works<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2040\" data-end=\"2219\">Kresus Inheritance allows users to designate a beneficiary who can gain access to the wallet owner\u2019s cryptocurrency holdings only after a predefined inactivity period has elapsed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2221\" data-end=\"2376\">The company said private keys are never shared during the transfer process, allowing users to retain full control of their assets while they remain active.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2378\" data-end=\"2572\">Kresus also emphasized that it does not take custody of customer assets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2378\" data-end=\"2572\">The wallet owner remains in control unless the defined inactivity period expires and the succession process is triggered.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2574\" data-end=\"2778\">According to the company, a user holding $50,000 in Bitcoin can designate a spouse or adult child as a beneficiary without granting them access to the assets before a verified succession event occurs.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"16ecm5w\" data-start=\"2780\" data-end=\"2837\">Crypto ownership grows as inheritance concerns persist<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2839\" data-end=\"2967\">Kresus cited a Harris Poll study estimating that 55 million US adults, or 21% of the population, now own cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2969\" data-end=\"3159\">At the same time, the company pointed to research from the Cremation Institute, which found that 89% of crypto investors worry about what happens to their digital assets after death.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3161\" data-end=\"3321\">The company said Kresus Inheritance is intended to address that concern by providing users with a built-in succession planning tool before it becomes necessary.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3323\" data-end=\"3533\">The launch also expands Kresus\u2019 broader wallet platform, which the company said already serves millions of self-custody wallet users through the Kresus Wallet, mini-app experiences and enterprise solutions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3535\" data-end=\"3771\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Kresus said the new offering reflects its strategy of expanding beyond digital asset storage into a broader wealth management platform, with inheritance planning becoming part of the self-custody experience for cryptocurrency investors.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/kresus-launches-crypto-inheritance-service-for-self-custody-wallet-users\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Kresus launches crypto inheritance service for self-custody users.
