Yes, it's possible to invest in cryptocurrencies without having your own wallet by using exchanges or platforms that hold and manage the assets for you, like centralized exchanges (e.g., Binance, Coinbase). However, this means you don't fully control the private keys to your funds.

Many cryptocurrency exchanges allow you to buy and hold digital assets directly on their platforms. These exchanges typically provide their own wallets to store your cryptocurrencies. But if you are serious with your investments... better to have a Wallet

It is possible to engage with cryptocurrency without a traditional wallet by using platforms like centralized exchanges (e.g., Coinbase or Binance). These platforms hold custody of your crypto and allow you to buy, sell, or trade without needing to manage private keys. However, this means you do not have full control over your assets, unlike when using a personal wallet.

Yes, you can invest in crypto without having your own wallet by using exchanges that offer custodial services. However, you rely on the platform's security instead of controlling your own assets.
Do you think this convenience is worth the risk?

Investing in crypto via centralized exchanges like Binance or Coinbase is convenient but means you don't control your private keys. Always weigh ease of use against the security of owning your keys!
