Crypto Terms Explained #2 — What Is a Crypto Wallet? 🔐

If you’ve started learning about crypto, you’ve probably heard people say —


> “Keep your crypto safe in your wallet.”




But what exactly is a crypto wallet? 🤔


A crypto wallet is a digital tool that lets you store, send, and receive your crypto safely.

It doesn’t actually “hold” your coins — it stores your private keys, which prove that the crypto belongs to you.


There are two main types of wallets:

💻 Hot Wallets – connected to the internet (easier to use, like Trust Wallet or Binance Wallet)

🧊 Cold Wallets – offline and more secure (like hardware wallets such as Ledger or Trezor)


🔑 Your wallet = your control.

If you lose your private keys, your crypto is gone — no bank or support team can recover it.


That’s why we always say:


> “Not your keys, not your crypto.”
