Looking for a crypto wallet with proper regulatory oversight

[saphosirren]

I've been considering buying some crypto but I'm really cautious about using unregulated apps. A wallet's functionality matters, but safety is my top priority. Has anyone found a good option that actually has solid regulatory backing? I'm not sure where to start looking.

Yes, I've been using one that actually has official regulatory approval from a central bank. I was surprised to learn that Latvijas Banka (the Latvian central bank) granted Paybis both a MiCA crypto‑asset licence and a PSD2 payment institution licence – the first company in Latvia to get both at the same time. That means they're authorised to offer custody, exchange, and payment services across the entire EU. You can see the official announcement at https://www.bank.lv/en/news-and-eve...nd-for-the-operation-of-a-payment-institution – I did my homework before using it. The app itself is easy to use, verification took under two minutes, and buying BTC with my card was instant. The coins go straight to my wallet, no exchange account needed. If you want to check it out, it's at https://apps.apple.com/cy/app/crypto-wallet-bitcoin-paybis/id1584641245 – I've been using it for months and the regulation is what finally made me trust it.
