The first major event of 2025, after new BTC records, was the hack of the ByBit exchange – the largest attack in cryptocurrency history, resulting in the loss of $1.46 million in ETH. Against the backdrop of this event, the question of “where to store assets” became critical once again, and mobile wallets came to the fore as the most flexible and fastest option.
Below are five solutions that everyone should install to protect their capital. They are both centralized and decentralized, but mobile, secure, and popular.
Trustee Plus: Wallet. Card. IBAN
Trustee Plus it’s a new generation service that combines management of both cryptocurrency and fiat assets, allowing you to easily buy and withdraw funds, including by bank card, on favorable terms – 0% for internal transfers, 0% for stablecoin exchange. The wallet is custodial, but emphasizes two-way protection: users set up PIN and biometric parameters, enable 2FA, and the service uses this PIN and biometrics to encrypt keys, data, and connections to servers based on the latest cryptographic solutions. Every update is a security update.
Trustee Plus crypto card and IBAN
Trustee's universal feature is a euro payment card that can be topped up directly in your wallet and used to pay via regular fiat terminals at millions of locations around the world. Crypto card payments are 0% with no borders. In the Incrypted ranking, the largest crypto media in Eastern Europe, this card ranks first among popular cards from major platforms.
Another rare feature for a crypto wallet is IBAN transfers, which are essentially international payments that work as easily as a simple bank transfer. There is also a referral program (up to 45% of commissions from invited friends) and a new bonus system called Trustee Points – every month, the most active user receives a gift, after which the competition starts again.
Developers: a Ukrainian company led by Vadym Grusha, a programmer with many years of experience in the field of payments and security, winner of a hackathon in New York.
OKX: wallet, crypto exchange, card
OKX Wallet is a non-custodial wallet that operates without intermediaries: keys are stored only by the user, and assets are managed directly through the network. It supports 3,000+ assets, a built-in exchange market, and access to Web3.
The main advantage of OKX is the wallet's tight integration with the exchange ecosystem. Its customers can instantly move assets between their exchange account and Web3 wallet, gaining access to trading, staking, and earn products without complicated transfers. This is complemented by the OKX Card, which allows users to spend cryptocurrency like fiat currency, with instant conversion, Apple Pay/Google Pay support, cashback, and the ability to make international payments without hidden fees.
Developers: a division of the OKX crypto exchange, operating separately from the main trading infrastructure. The company was founded in 2013. CEO – Xu Mingxing.
Trust Wallet: wallet, crypto exchange, access to Web3
Trust Wallet is one of the most popular wallets in the world, giving users complete control over their private keys and operating without intermediaries. It supports hundreds of major networks and many smaller ecosystems. It has a built-in DApp browser, staking, an NFT gallery, and a key backup feature. Trust is decentralized, but its development depends on the world's largest centralized exchange, which offers additional advantages. Users can top up their wallets via Binance Pay, use fiat gateways and withdraw from the exchange.
Developers: a team of programmers belonging to Binance. Today, its user base exceeds 250 million, despite lawsuits in the US and a change of CEO.
Coinbase Wallet: wallet, exchange, DApp support
Another decentralized solution associated with Coinbase, but independent of the exchange account. The wallet supports Ethereum, EVM networks, Bitcoin, Solana, and many L2s. It has a built-in DApp browser, NFT support, and a support chat, making it one of the most convenient tools for working with the Web3 world.
The wallet is integrated into the Coinbase infrastructure: users can transfer assets from the exchange, top up their wallet with fiat via partner services, and securely connect to DeFi applications via the Web3 bridge. Another plus: enhanced security – smart contract verification before signing, risk warnings.
Developers: the wallet is fully supported by the Coinbase crypto exchange, which regularly releases updates, improves security algorithms, and integrates new networks. The company has been operating since 2012 and has over 100 million customers.
Trustee Wallet: DEX wallet, Web3 support, NFT
A non-custodial wallet with an emphasis on privacy and simplicity. The user has complete control over their keys, and the wallet itself works directly with blockchains without server mediation. It supports dozens of networks and allows you to make exchanges through built-in aggregators, work with NFTs and secure local backups. Trustee Wallet is often chosen for its minimalist interface and stable performance even on older mobile devices.
The wallet is part of the Trustee ecosystem along with the Trustee Plus crypto service. Both solutions are supported and updated, creating an ecosystem in which the customer can choose between full self-custody and the extensive capabilities of Plus.
These mobile wallets show that modern crypto is not only about trading, but also about convenient, secure, and flexible management. It's a balance between security and comfort.
