Bitcoin wallets

In a self-custody wallet you hold the keys, so no platform can ask you for ID to move your coins.

Buying inside a wallet usually goes through a third party that may ask for ID.

Order: what the tool asks of you (nothing, an account, ID), then open code before closed code, then A to Z. Affiliate links and sponsors never change it.
