Hot wallet
Coinbase Wallet vs Trust Wallet
Same kind of product, two profiles. Affiliate status is not how this page is ordered.
Coinbase Wallet
Coinbase Wallet is a self-custody product, separate from the custodial Coinbase exchange account. Keeping the names straight matters: coins in the exchange are held by Coinbase, and coins in Coinbase Wallet are controlled by the recovery phrase on your device. Swap fees were not verified.
Trust Wallet
Trust Wallet is a multichain hot wallet. The current swap fee, corporate ownership, and a full chain count were not verified, so those figures are omitted.
