Types of crypto wallets
There are 2 types of crypto wallets that may interest you to know about:- Custodial wallets
- Non-custodial wallets
- A Custodial Wallet is a type of wallet in which the private keys of the wallet are held by a third party. In this type of wallet, you only have permission to send or receive payments, while the third party has full control over your funds. The third party performs a role similar to a bank — it provides you with a wallet in which you can hold your funds. Examples of custodial wallets are wallets provided by exchanges service like Binance, Coinbase, Payeer, Stakecube, Luno etc.
- A Non-custodial Wallet is a type of wallet that provides you with far more control and allows you to be completely responsible for your funds and do with it whatever you please. You have full control over your funds, no minimum deposit required, and most importantly, you possess your private key. Ledger, Trezor (or any other Hardware wallets), Trust Wallet, Exodus, Klever wallet and a couple of other non-custodial wallets are good examples of wallets that do not require a minimum deposit amount.
