The global crypto wallets market size was worth around USD 8.24 billion in 2022 and is predicted to grow to around USD 46.72 billion by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 24.23% between 2023 and 2030.
A crypto wallet is a software or a program that allows cryptocurrency transactions with its security depending on the stored private key. It can either be in the form of a physical device or a computer program that is used for sending or receiving cryptos or undertakings. It mainly consists of a public key and a private key. A public key has its origin or is derived from the private key and serves the purpose of the address to which cryptos are sent.
The most critical part of a crypto wallet is the private key since the security of the entire system is dependent on it. It is equivalent to the key of any safety deposit box which should always be in the care of the user. All people who have the access to the private key can ultimately completely control the cryptos and the subsequent transactions. But contrary to the safety deposit box, if a user holds the private key and makes transactions using a wallet not hosted by a third party or an exchange, becomes solely responsible for all of their cryptos.
The functioning of crypto wallets depends on the blockchain which is a public ledger of all the crypto transactions, the amount of cryptos present at a certain address, and the details of who holds the key to the given balance. Since cryptos are not literally stored in the wallet but exist on the blockchain, crypto wallets allow users to interact with the respective balance on that blockchain. Every crypto wallet service provider has its own set of specifications that they offer, however, there are standard parameters that every crypto wallet should have like provisions for receiving or sending funds.
The global crypto wallets market cap witnessed a slight rise due to Covid-19. This rise was attributed to the large number of people who invested in cryptos during the peak of the pandemic. Since people had more time in hand there was a general trend of higher searches on websites for information related to cryptocurrencies and their viability. Encouraged by the steps undertaken by crypto firms in generating awareness the global market witnessed high traffic directed toward cryptos.
The global crypto wallets market is projected to grow owing to the increasing demand for better and enhanced security systems. Since more people at the individual and at commercial level are now investing in cryptocurrencies and many transactions occur using this technology, the service providers are under extreme pressure of delivering consumer demand in order to stay ahead in the competitive global market scenario. The demands are not just focused on better customer experience for upgraded security systems to keep the cryptos safe along with provisions that make sure that there are no losses owing to cyber-attacks.
Recently crypto service providers are witnessing a rise in the number of digital attacks and many companies have reported being hacked by external sources. For instance, In January 2022, Crypto.com admitted that the crypto exchange had lost over USD 35 million in a cyber-attack consisting of 443.93 bitcoin and 4,836.26 Ethereum. Owing to such unwanted digital activities, if the global market leaders aim to increase their hold and have a larger consumer database, they will have to upgrade security systems which will aid global market growth during the projection period.
The concerns related to wallet access permission may restrict the global market growth whereas the initiatives undertaken by service providers are expected to create growth opportunities. The vulnerabilities associated with crypto wallets may challenge global market growth.

The global market share was dominated by individual segments in 2021 and is projected to garner more revenues in the coming year as well. The most popular form of crypto wallet is Coinbase Wallet.
