Best Bitcoin/Altcoin Wallets For iOS Devices [2018 Edition]
Sudhir Khatwani

If you own cryptocurrencies and an iOS device, I am sure you have struggled to find the right crypto wallets. However, these days developers have started supporting iOS devices too.

Now the iOS device users no longer need to store their cryptos on exchanges and jeopardize the security of their cryptocurrencies.

Also, in any case, the habit of storing your cryptocurrencies on exchanges is strongly discouraged by CoinSutra. But we also understand that some crypto users are forced to do so because they don't know about cryptocurrency wallets that are supported on iOS devices.

That's why in this post I am going to share about popular Bitcoin and cryptocurrency wallets that can be used on iOS devices too.
