> Blockchains mathematically prevent the misuse of deposits Depending on the argument I hear that the ledger is anonymous or not anonymous.

  Anonymity is completely separate. Anonymity has nothing to do with the property that you cannot steal on the blockchain. How do you think blockchains even work? Read primary sources before vaguely disagreeing.

    I assume you’re saying the way they prevent misuse is because the ledger is public and it’s trackable by anyone who wants to look at the ledger. If I’ve mistaken your argument then please correct me. I’m familiar with blockchain and have contributed to multiple projects in the open source community back when I saw potential and promise in blockchain tech.

      Yes, you're mistaken. If you're the only person with the private key, you're the only person who can move the funds. It's math. Unless you have a mathematical argument as to how to move funds without the private key, you're ignorant and uninformed.

        If you’re depositing into a bank or exchange it’s not like 1 person is controlling that entire entities wallet(s). Deposits have the same risk of being misused in crypto as in fiat.

          DEXs exist. What you are talking about has nothing to do with blockchains or self-custody. Again, read primary sources and learn fundamental concepts before vaguely disagreeing.
