Why buying Monko in a non-custodial wallet is safer

When you buy Monko on an exchange, the exchange holds your funds. If the exchange is hacked, freezes withdrawals, or goes bankrupt, your Monko is at risk. Tangem ensures that doesn't happen to you. When you buy Monko, our integrated provider sends it directly to your wallet's public address.
