<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-is-sorted-wallet">What is Sorted Wallet?&nbsp;</h2>
Sorted Wallet allows people without bank accounts or limited banking options to use crypto. It works on basic mobile devices, enabling users to store, send, and receive crypto. The platform doesn’t control users’ funds, making it a secure option for those in developing regions.
Cryptocurrency has become important in areas where traditional banking is limited. In places like Africa and parts of Asia, many people rely on crypto to make faster, cheaper payments and protect their money from unstable local currencies. It also offers an alternative to traditional banking, which can be expensive or inaccessible.
Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, said this investment helps expand financial services to underserved communities.&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 “By supporting Sorted Wallet, we unlock new opportunities for individuals with basic mobile phones to participate in the financial system. Our goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of location or phone type, can securely manage and utilize cryptocurrency, empowering them to build a more secure financial future and actively engage in the evolving digital economy.”
