I think one general thinking is that, for the bitcoin to be secure, it has to be in our own wallet, and preferably, a hardware cold wallet.

But at the same time, we would also see that 3% interest we can earn on our bitcoin gone every year, if the bitcoin is kept in some exchange.

Is there a way to solve this problem currently? But except maybe if there is a insurance system like FDIC insured, so that we can deposit our bitcoin somewhere, have it guarded against theft, and at the same time earning interest?

    Perhaps this related topic answers your question: [Is there logically any way to “live off of Bitcoin interest” without giving up control of your coins?](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/100935/5406) – Murch Mar 26 '21 at 12:31
  • No it does not. Some answers in there are very old too. Is this a "let's try to search and if there is a title that looks like it, then close the question"? – nonopolarity Mar 26 '21 at 14:30

    Can you explain how it doesn't answer your question? It looks very applicable to me, and only a few months old. – Pieter Wuille Mar 26 '21 at 16:06
  • @nonopolarity https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/100939/ this has few options mentioned to get interest on your bitcoin in self custodial ways still involving some risks. Insurance for centralized exchange is something a company needs to decide. For decentralized insurance of smart contracts, life, health etc. I had some ideas/concept which is not yet implemented with some code using DLC: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/99497/ –  Mar 26 '21 at 16:10
