When Revolut is too complicated and the exchange is too risky. What is Simple Wallet?
While salaries in the US are already paid in cryptocurrencies, and some utility bills can be paid in USDC, in Ukraine crypto is still perceived mainly as an investment or niche tool. But the market is changing. In 2025, stablecoins occupy a key place in the crypto ecosystem: according to CoinGecko, they account for more than 10% of the crypto asset market, and the volume of transactions in stablecoins is growing every quarter.
While salaries in the US are already paid in cryptocurrencies, and some utility bills can be paid in USDC, in Ukraine crypto is still perceived mainly as an investment or niche tool. But the market is changing. In 2025, stablecoins occupy a key place in the crypto ecosystem: according to CoinGecko, they account for more than 10% of the crypto asset market, and the volume of transactions in stablecoins is growing every quarter.
Against this backdrop, new tools for everyday use of digital dollars are emerging. One of them is Simple Wallet. It is not a crypto exchange. It is a crypto wallet that aims to become the «new standard» for simple, fast, and secure storage and use of stablecoins.
What is Simple Wallet?
Simple is a mobile wallet that supports over 200 assets with an intuitive interface. The main idea of the developers is to make cryptocurrency convenient for everyday use: purchases, transfers, payment for services, storage of funds — without complicated charts, orders and exchange deadlines.
Simple is ideal for freelancers, remote workers, and crypto earners, as it solves challenges such as borderless transactions, local payments with zero fees, and transparent stablecoin circulation.
Simple Wallet is also a convenient everyday wallet for the user. You just open the app, see your balance in stablecoins (USDT, USDC), transfer to someone by phone number or pay with a card or store assets.
The app now has 2.5 million installs. Its Telegram bot also has 17 million users. The app features a Discover section with a vibrant community, free educational content, live webinars, and interactive exercises that will help you understand cryptocurrencies step by step — whether you’re a beginner or looking to deepen your knowledge of the topic.
What is a stablecoin and why is it needed in 2025?
A stablecoin is a digital equivalent of the dollar or euro. For example, USDT or USDC is always ≈ 1 USD, EURT or EUROC is ≈ 1 EUR. It is money in your smartphone that works stably, quickly, and without banks.
Why do Ukrainians need them:
Protection against inflation. In 2023, inflation in Ukraine reached 5,1%, in 2022 — 26,6%. Keeping savings in hryvnia is risky, in stablecoins — more reliable.
Fast transfers. USDT can be sent in a minute without SWIFT and bank holidays.
Global transfers without barriers. Crypto works without bank limits. And it’s legal.
Salary in crypto. Ukrainian IT professionals, designers, marketers, and freelancers are increasingly getting paid in stablecoins. According to the Global Crypto Adoption Index 2024, Ukraine ranks 6th in the world in crypto usage.
How is Simple Wallet different from crypto exchanges?
Unlike Binance or Bybit, Simple is not focused on mass trading, but has a spot trading function. All charts are simple and clear for the user, and the functionality is focused on basic interaction with cryptocurrency: store, send, receive and pay.
This also means minimal risks — the user is not tempted to «dump everything» at a time of market volatility.
How is Simple Wallet different from fintechs like Revolut?
Simple works with cryptocurrency, which provides several significant advantages:
Globality — the wallet does not depend on the banking system of a specific country.
Privacy and control — only you have access to your assets.
Support that is really responsive — the support service responds on average in 2–3 minutes, not in a day.
This allows Simple to be a convenient tool for people who travel frequently, work remotely, or receive payments from abroad.
A virtual Mastercard card that can be added to Apple Pay. It is available to verified users with EU/EEA residency. The company is still developing the Ukrainian card, but the app itself is already working.
Transfers to an email address — in the app, this is called a «Gift.» You can send crypto even to people without experience, they will simply open Simple and receive the asset.
Secure storage: the wallet uses modern encryption and access technologies.
Simple design — no stock terms or complicated menus.
Referral rewards: Invite friends, get rewards.
Conclusion
Simple Wallet is a new type of crypto wallet. Not an exchange or a bank, but a tool for everyday use of digital assets. A simple interface, globality, lack of speculation, and real benefits for users — all this makes Simple an interesting alternative to both crypto exchanges and traditional fintechs.
