💼 Convenient: Good for active users or day traders.
🔐 Software-based: Usually comes in the form of mobile apps, desktop applications, or browser extensions.
🔓 Less secure than cold wallets: More exposed to cyberattacks, phishing, and malware.

Mobile wallets (e.g., Trust Wallet, MetaMask mobile)
Desktop wallets (e.g., Exodus, Electrum)
Web wallets (e.g., Blockchain.com, wallets hosted by exchanges like Coinbase or Binance)

Crypto hot wallets offer convenience, but they also come with increased risks due to their internet connectivity. Hot wallets are NOT meant to hold large amounts of crypto !
