Medium 1:- Storing your Cryptocurrency in Custodial Wallets

The custodial wallet is the most common type of wallet as brokers own it. For this reason, they’re the default storage option for brokerage accounts. 

A custodial wallet involves a third party, the stockbroker, or any medium to hold your cryptocurrencies for you. Custodial wallets are not compulsory, and you can transfer your cryptocurrency from them to another wallet. However, not all brokers allow funds to be transferred outside the custodial wallet.

● Custodial wallet grants users unlimited access to their coins, provided they can access their accounts.

● A custodial wallet requires the least work on your(user’s) part.

Medium 2:- Storing Cryptocurrency in a Cold Wallet

A cold wallet is an offline cryptocurrency storage medium, and it can be a free paper wallet or hardware wallet. However, hardware wallets are the most common type of cold wallets.

Hardware wallet devices can be connected to a computer to grant users access to their cryptocurrency. In addition, they can be connected to the internet to send cryptocurrencies, but they store your funds offline. 

Advantages

● It is the highest level of wallet security. 

● They have recovery phrases.

Medium 3:- Storing Cryptocurrency in Hot wallets

Unlike cold wallets, hot wallets can be hacked – although the chances are low, it doesn’t still eliminate the chances of being hacked. On the other hand, hot wallets have recovery phrases you can use to regain access if you ever lose a hot wallet. 

Finally, you’re given total control of your cryptocurrency in hot wallets, and you don’t invite a third party. 

Advantages

● They’re mostly free

● They’re easy to use

Medium 4:- Storing Cryptocurrency in A Physical Wallet 

Physical crypto wallets are also known as paper wallets. Paper wallets are printouts containing public and private keys, which can either exist as scannable QR codes or characters. The private keys and public keys function differently but are necessary for transactions in a paper wallet.

You use the public keys when you want to receive cryptocurrencies; you scan the private and public keys to send cryptocurrencies. 

Just like hardware wallets, paper wallets are not easy to hack. But unlike hardware wallets, they’re not user-friendly. 

Advantages 

● They’re free to create

● They offer the best possible security at the lowest price.
