Is Coinbase and Coinbase Wallet the Same?
Coinbase.com is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that makes it easy for you to trade and store supported crypto. Coinbase Wallet is a self-hosted wallet that lets you take full control of your crypto, digital art, and more by storing them privately and securely on your own device.

What is difference Coinbase and Coinbase wallet?

Coinbase.com stores your crypto for you after you buy it. You do not need a Coinbase.com account to use Coinbase Wallet. Coinbase Wallet is a self-custody wallet. The private keys (that represent ownership of the crypto) are stored directly on your device and not within a centralized exchange like Coinbase.com.

Is Coinbase wallet safer than Coinbase?

The Exodus Wallet is safer than the Coinbase web wallet because the user holds their private keys and maintains complete control over their assets. On the other hand, Coinbase's wallet is a custodial wallet, and they manage your private keys.
