Bitvavo no longer available for German customers in future


Originally, only German users could no longer register with Bitvavo. Now you have to leave Bitvavo.


Can anyone tell me how and where I can best store my cryptos ($RNDR (-2.96%) Render Token, $BTC (-0.73%) Bitcoin, $ETH (-0.49%) Ethereum and $SOL (-1.5%) Solana) in the future?


I'm leaning towards a cold wallet as a temporary solution (is there anything better than this cheap plastic ledger?) or Bitpanda.

I would generally advise everyone to store their coins themselves and not to hold them on an exchange (in case something like FTX happens again). There are many options for self-custody, but the safest is probably, as you said, to get a cold wallet. I have been using a ledger for a long time and apart from their questionable strategies and decisions, I have nothing to complain about and am quite happy with it. There are definitely some alternatives to Ledger, you can also look up what exactly is available on the Internet, e.g. on YouTube, and get opinions. I can give you a few more names that are very well known: Trezor, BitBox, Tangem. Personally, I was thinking about switching to a OneKey but have been too lazy so far. In any case, you should look into it beforehand and not transfer the coins from A to B without knowing what you are doing.

Personally, I am with Bitpanda - very satisfied, easy to use. Very well regulated and a top choice for Europe. I have no complaints!

Cold wallet highly recommended
Following advice and YouTube videos, I opted for the Bitbox Multi Edition. It's a bit more expensive, but it's very easy to use and set up. I think the purchase was worth it. And generally speaking, a cold wallet is the safest....

A bitbox looks just as cheap.

That's why I went to BitPanda and got a mate to recommend it to me.
