Most of us are familiar with physical wallets that hold cash and cards, as well as electronic wallets like those from Apple, Google, or PayPal. Similarly, a cryptocurrency wallet can be either physical or digital, but with a crucial difference: only the owner of the wallet, who possesses the private keys, can access it.
However, with great power comes great responsibility. As the sole owner of your self-custody wallet, you must ensure you protect your keys in a secure manner. Each wallet contains two 'keys'—a public key and a private key. Private keys enable access to your assets and why you must never share them. Read more about our self-custody best practices here.

It is safer to keep crypto in your own crypto wallet. Remember, not your keys, not your crypto! Elbaite has adopted a unique approach to creating a safe and secure trading environment for traders looking to buy crypto. When traders use our Australian crypto exchange, they have full control and access to their tokens at all times, as Elbaite does not hold onto any cryptocurrency during the transaction process.
We also provide a better and safe experience for traders by first verifying a seller's crypto transfer via the Blockchain (TxHash) before releasing a buyer's transferred funds to the seller. Traders can then hold their crypto in any wallet of their choosing and experience no withdrawal fees.
While there are many popular Australian crypto exchange markets out there, no one is as passionate about cryptocurrency as the team at Elbaite. As a non-custodial exchange, we do not hold your cryptocurrencies and allow you to unlock financial freedom via our secure platform. Unlike other crypto exchanges, we offer traders the freedom to use any crypto wallet to conduct trades, giving them more control over their digital assets.
We want to accelerate cryptocurrency adoption, so we've worked hard to develop one of the most secure platforms. We are also an Australian-owned and operated platform with access to various cryptocurrencies in our marketplace.
