Where do I keep my Aave?

After you've purchased crypto, the next step is to find the best way to secure it.

Wallets are often considered to offer some of the best security for your cryptocurrency. While you have the option of keeping your assets on Newton, Newton is primarily a low-fee cryptocurrency trading platform, and not a wallet service.

While we have institutional third-party custody to keep customers' digital assets safe, many individuals who buy cryptocurrency consider transferring a portion of holdings to external wallets for personal custody.
