Where to hold your SOL
Once you buy SOL, you’ll need somewhere to safely store your cryptocurrency.
Kraken is secure, but it’s always safest to keep your SOL in a wallet, a software or hardware device that stores the public and private keys required to make crypto transactions.
Mobile and web wallets can make transactions easy, while hardware wallets are perhaps best suited for secure, long-term storage.
When choosing a crypto wallet for your SOL, first spend some time thinking about what you plan to do with your tokens to find a wallet that fits your needs.
Kraken is not a wallet service
It is important to note that Kraken is an exchange service and not a wallet service. So while we allow our clients to hold Solana in their accounts, we highly encourage you to separate your SOL holdings into multiple wallets.
