Where do I store it?

Once you have purchased your crypto, you have several options for storing your digital assets, as discussed in ‘Section 2 What is a crypto wallet?’ In this section, we covered various storage solutions.

Crypto wallets can be software applications for daily use, hardware devices like USB sticks, for secure offline storage, or paper wallets with printed keys stored safely to prevent online hacks. Each type offers different levels of convenience and security.

Most centralised crypto exchanges, like BTC Markets, will store assets for users who are not comfortable or familiar with cold storage.

Reputable crypto exchanges use advanced security measures, including multi-signature wallets, cold storage solutions, and regular security audits.
