Multisig Wallet Security on the Rise, Protecting 13% of Bitcoin Today

Today, 13% of Bitcoin is protected by multisig technology.
A growing minority of Bitcoin users employ a multi-signature wallet, which uses more than one private key to access the wallet. By using this approach, wallets are much less vulnerable to security breaches, as no single party possesses all the information necessary to decrypt the wallet.
Princeton professor Arvind Narayanan tweeted about the significance of the multisig uptick:
