Best Verge wallets to store your XVG

You can keep your XVG on the exchange you purchased it on, or move it to a personal wallet:

• Some people like to use their own wallets to guarantee total ownership over their assets, or to use them with other applications like DeFi services.
• Hardware wallets are typically considered to be the safest type of cryptocurrency wallet, as they use a physical device to enhance security in a number of ways. You can take a look at some of our top hardware wallet picks for self-custody of your XVG below.

Is Verge a good investment?

Cryptocurrency is a particularly volatile market, making it extremley important to perform due diligence before deciding to purchase a token. Here are some things to keep in mind prior to buying XVG:

• Competition. Verge is by no means the only cryptocurrency on the market with a focus on privacy. Privacy is one of the most important elements of decentralisation, and therefore many other networks offer similar services to Verge. Examples include Monero, Dash and Zcash.
• Issues with privacy. Though privacy is something more and more internet users are striving for, untraceable transactions are typically associated with criminal activity. This may have a substantial negative impact on the public image of the Verge network.
• Supply. Supply is capped at a maximum of 16.5 billion XVG.
• Controversy. Verge has had a rocky history with hackers and exploits, being on the receiving end of major attacks multiple times. As well as losing hundreds of thousands worth of Verge tokens in these exploits, it is a bad look for a network focussed on security.

Today's Verge price versus ATH

Compare today's price of Verge ($0.0020449 USD) against its all-time-high price of $0.261874 USD on 24 December 2017. The closer the bar is to 100%, the closer XVG is to reaching its ATH again.

How to trade, convert or sell Verge

You can convert or sell your XVG with the same exchange you bought it through:

1. Sign in to the exchange you have XVG on.
2. If you store your Verge in a digital wallet, compare crypto exchanges to convert or sell it on.
3. Choose Sell or Convert and place a sell order.
4. Choose the amount of XVG you'd like to convert or sell.
5. Confirm the sell price and fees and close your sale of Verge.
6. Complete your transaction and move your XVG to a wallet for storage.
