A Bitcoin Cash wallet is a tool for interacting directly with the Bitcoin Cash network. It's different from a centralized cryptocurrency exchange, which holds bitcoin cash on your behalf, providing you with merely an IOU.

The best Bitcoin Cash wallets allow you to buy, sell, send, receive, store, and trade bitcoin cash - and, in many cases, other cryptocurrencies as well.
