Why Trust Wallet should be your go-to in 2025
When it comes to crypto wallets, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of terminology – hardware and software wallets, custodial and non-custodial, the list goes on.
Choosing the right brand can be just as tricky. Do you go with a name you know, like Binance or Coinbase? Or do you pick something more advanced, recommended by the pros – like Sparrow Wallet or Electrum?
Faced with so many options, many users are simply looking for the middle ground: something tried and tested, secure, and easy to use – with a clean interface that works for both beginners and seasoned crypto users.
This is where Trust Wallet shines.
Launched in 2017 and now used by millions worldwide, Trust Wallet has built a strong reputation as a reliable, easy-to-use tool for managing crypto securely and independently.
In 2025, it’s still one of the best choices out there for anyone looking to explore Web3 with confidence.
So, let’s take a closer look.
So, what is Trust Wallet?
Trust Wallet is a free, non-custodial crypto wallet that lets you store, send, receive, and manage a huge variety of crypto assets – all while staying in full control of your private keys. It’s available as a mobile app and browser extension, making it easy to use on the go or at your desk.
Originally built as a mobile-first Ethereum wallet, Trust Wallet has evolved into a powerful multichain platform. It now supports over 70 blockchains, and it’s regularly updated to keep pace with the fast-moving crypto ecosystem.
The Binance connection – what to know
Trust Wallet was acquired by Binance back in 2018, but it operates as an independent product with its own development roadmap. And following a sale by Binance of its shares in late 2023, Trust Wallet is now a separate legal entity that is not part of the Binance group and operates independently from Binance.com.
While it benefits from Binance’s support and reach, Trust Wallet is not a custodial product – your assets and keys stay with you. This combo of big-brand backing and independent custody has helped it stay both relevant and respected.
Who’s it for?
Trust Wallet hits a sweet spot between simplicity and functionality. It’s a great fit for:
- New users who want something intuitive, with helpful onboarding and an active community.
- Web3 explorers looking to interact with DeFi apps, NFTs, and staking – without relying on a centralized exchange.
- Privacy-minded users who want full control of their assets with no third-party access.
Whether you’re dipping a toe into crypto or shifting toward full self-custody, Trust Wallet offers a reliable gateway.
Trust Wallet’s key features at a glance
- Multichain support: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Polygon, Avalanche, and hundreds more – all in one wallet.
- Built-in dApp browser: Access Web3 apps and DeFi platforms directly from the wallet (mobile only).
- Staking and earning: Easily stake assets like BNB, ATOM, or TRX to earn passive rewards.

How to Start with Trust Wallet
Using Trust Wallet is straightforward. Here’s how to begin:
- Download it from the official site or your app store. It’s available for iOS, Android, and now as a browser extension.
- Create a new wallet or import an existing one.
- Write down your recovery phrase (also known as your seed phrase). This is the only way to restore your wallet if you lose access – never screenshot it, share it, or store it online.
- Start exploring: Add tokens, browse dApps, and manage your assets, all from a clean, easy-to-navigate interface.
More relevant than ever
In 2025, the need for secure self-custody tools is only growing. With increasing concerns around centralized exchange failures, data privacy, and platform censorship, more users are looking for ways to stay independent. Trust Wallet makes that transition smoother.
It’s also deeply embedded in the Web3 movement – with support for smart contract interaction, token swaps, and NFT marketplaces. Whether you’re minting a new NFT collection or staking ATOM, Trust Wallet is built to handle it.
And beyond the tech, there’s a strong community and ongoing development team committed to keeping the wallet secure, useful, and easy to use. New features roll out regularly, and user feedback continues to shape its evolution.
As we team up with Trust Wallet to help more people safely navigate crypto, we’re doubling down on a shared goal: education and empowerment through self-custody.
Whether you’re managing your first stablecoin or diving into DeFi, Trust Wallet gives users the tools and control to manage their crypto assets securely and independently.
