Potential hot wallets and general advice needed to suit needs. Please!

Hello! Newbie here.

Trying my best to learn & have read many many threads on this topic but no further forward. Just more confused.

I don't want hardware wallets... Yet. So don't respond with trezor etc please.

Right now I want my small asset off of the exchange (just seeing how it all works for now) but haven't a clue what 'hot' wallet to choose.

I do not use the coinbase exchange, so will not be using the coin base wallet.

Currency I am interested in are - BTC, LTC, ETH.

Which brings me to wallet options.

CAKE WALLET All the threads I have read about cake wallet, everyone seems to go on about converting to XMR to use cake wallet. Is that the only way cake works?

BLUE WALLET This seems pretty common in thread replies.

GREEN I have seen this crop up but not so much.

TRUST AND EXODUS I have seem to come across rather a high volume of negatives.

Other options or suggestions?

Anyway I thought I'd ask. It's 2024 so was kinda hoping for more up to date and accurate feedback and opinions.

Again, I'm just exploring and learning. Hardware wallets are of no interest to me at this stage.

Would appreciate some replies. Thank you
