The step before your first trade - where ordinary money becomes crypto
CustomCrypto and CustomBank, the banking simulator from the same studio, let you move a practice balance between them. The hand-off from everyday money into crypto becomes something you rehearse instead of something you read about. Virtual funds only - no wallet, no exchange account, no real money, and nothing leaves your device.
Most beginners stall long before they own a coin: fees on the way in, account minimums, and the gap between the price they saw and the price they got. Rehearsing that first leg makes the real thing far less intimidating. Read up on crypto trading fees and slippage first.
