Understanding Crypto Wallet Types: Custodial vs Non-Custodial on Xoibit

As a crypto trader or investor, security and control over your assets are top priorities. But choosing the right type of wallet can be confusing. Should you trust an exchange to hold your assets, or manage them yourself? Let’s break down custodial vs non-custodial wallets, and how Xoibit fits in.

🔐 What is a Crypto Wallet?

A crypto wallet is a tool that stores your private keys and lets you interact with blockchain networks. It's like your digital bank account — but decentralized.
