To use cryptocurrency at online casinos, it's important to understand the difference between "exchanges" and "wallets." Both are essential for managing cryptocurrency, but they serve different purposes.
An exchange is a platform for trading cryptocurrencies, allowing you to buy, sell, and swap digital currencies. For example, you can use Japanese yen to buy Bitcoin or exchange Bitcoin for another cryptocurrency.
Key features of exchanges:
A marketplace for buying and selling cryptocurrencies
Real-time price fluctuations
Support for fiat currency transactions (e.g., Japanese yen, US dollars)
Popular exchange examples: Bybit, Binance, Coinbase
A wallet is a digital tool for securely storing your cryptocurrency. Instead of holding the currency itself, it safeguards a crucial piece of data called a "private key," which is necessary to access and use your funds.
Key features of wallets:
A secure storage solution for your cryptocurrency
Ability to send and receive digital currencies
Available as online (hot) or offline (cold) options
Popular wallet examples: Trust Wallet, MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet
