10 Rules of Investing in Crypto

5. Use Safe Storage

Store sizable crypto holdings in a hardware wallet or with a trusted crypto custodian rather than leaving them on an exchange long-term. Leading hardware wallets include Trezor and Ledger, and some software-based wallets like Electrum are considered secure. These provide reinforced security protections like offline storage, encryption, PIN codes, multi-signatures, recovery phrases, and anti-tampering mechanisms.

Keep your recovery phrase somewhere safe, like a locked or bank vault. Do not electronically store your recovery phrase; if you must, encrypt or password-protect it. Be careful when entering sensitive wallet data on devices. Use complex and unique passwords, seed phrases, and secure backups.
