Other popular cryptocurrencies to buy
Securely purchase and manage a wide range of cryptocurrencies with ease.
Choose an asset and amount, a payment method and a wallet, then review your quote before you buy.
1. Choose the crypto you want to buy
Select an asset and enter an amount in the buy widget. You'll see an estimate of how much you'll receive before you go any further.
2. Continue with your preferred payment method
Choose from the payment options available to you, which may include debit card, credit card or bank transfer. Card payments are usually the fastest to clear; bank transfers usually cost less but take longer to settle.

3. Complete any required verification
The payment provider may ask you to verify your identity before processing your purchase. That usually means a government-issued photo ID, and sometimes a selfie or proof of address. What is required depends on the provider, the payment method, the amount and your location.
4. Review and confirm your order
Check the exchange rate, fees and the amount you'll receive before approving your purchase. The quote shows what the purchase costs in total, including fees, before you confirm.
5. Receive your crypto
Once the payment is processed, your crypto is sent to the wallet you selected. If that is a self-custody wallet, it is yours to hold, send or spend as soon as the transfer confirms on the network.
Four things you can do once it is in a wallet you control.
Keep it in a self-custody wallet, secured by a recovery phrase only you hold.
Move it to any compatible address, without asking a provider for permission.
Exchange one supported cryptocurrency for another without going back through a bank.
Convert it back into your local currency when you choose to.
Choose an asset and an amount in the buy widget, pick a payment method, complete any verification the payment provider asks for, review the quote, then confirm. The crypto is sent to the wallet you selected during checkout. If you have a specific coin in mind, see buy Bitcoin (BTC) or buy Ethereum (ETH).

Buying crypto online comes down to three choices: which asset you want, how you pay, and where it goes afterwards. The process is the same whether you are buying Bitcoin, Ethereum or anything else. What changes between methods is speed, cost, how much identity verification is involved, and whether you end up holding the asset yourself.
| Method | Speed | Relative cost | ID usually required | Where your crypto lands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Debit or credit card | Usually instant | Higher | Yes | Wallet or account |
| Bank transfer | 1 to 3 days | Lowest |
The pattern is consistent: the faster and more convenient the method, the more it tends to cost. Bank transfers are usually cheapest but slowest, cards and payment apps are quick but cost more, and peer-to-peer varies widely by platform.
Cards are the quickest route on this page. You enter an amount, pick your card, and the crypto is delivered once the payment clears, which is usually straight away. Apple Pay and Google Pay are offered in some regions and settle the same way a card does.
Your bank may run a 3-D Secure check before approving the payment. That usually means confirming the transaction in your banking app or entering a one-time code, and it happens between you and your bank rather than on this page.
There is one thing worth checking before paying by credit card: some issuers classify cryptocurrency purchases as a cash advance rather than an ordinary purchase. That can mean a higher interest rate with no grace period, plus a cash-advance fee from your issuer, on top of the purchase fee. Debit cards are not treated as cash advances, although other issuer or provider fees may still apply.
Card limits are set by the payment provider and your card issuer rather than by Bitcoin.com, and they differ by region and by how much verification you have completed. The provider shows the limits that apply to you during checkout.
Every purchase made here involves two separate systems: the payment rails your money moves on, and the blockchain the asset moves on. Different parties run them, and each sees something different about the transaction. Knowing which party does what tells you who can actually fix a problem, and who ends up holding which piece of your information.
Card payments fall under PCI-DSS, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, which governs how card data may be transmitted, processed and stored. The practical effect is that the card form belongs to the payment provider: your card number is entered there and stays within the provider's systems rather than passing through Bitcoin.com. The 3-D Secure step described above is an exchange between you and your bank, so the code or approval you give is not seen by the provider or by us.
On our side of the transaction, Bitcoin.com is ISO 27001 certified, the international standard for information security management, and our privacy policy sets out what the site itself collects.
You do not have to take anyone's word for the delivery. Whatever you bought, the transfer is recorded on that asset's blockchain, and the record is public. Look it up by its transaction ID, or by the address you had the crypto sent to, and you can see the amount, the fee that was paid and whether it confirmed. Use an explorer built for that network: a transfer on one chain will not show up in another chain's explorer, even where the address format looks the same. Our explainer on what a blockchain explorer is covers how to read one, and the Bitcoin.com block explorer is free to use for Bitcoin. If the transaction is not there, the crypto has not been sent, and the provider that took your payment is the one who can say why.
This is the part that makes buying crypto different from buying a single asset. There are thousands of cryptocurrencies, and most of what beginners buy falls into three groups. This is a buyer's-eye view rather than a full explainer of each type.
| Type | What buyers use it for |
|---|
What to weigh when you choose:
This page is not investment advice; the aim is to help you buy confidently, whatever you choose. If you have already settled on an asset, the coin pages go deeper: buy Bitcoin (BTC) covers network fees, confirmations and satoshis, and buy Ethereum (ETH) covers networks, gas and ERC-20 tokens.
Buying crypto and holding crypto are two separate steps. Where your assets sit afterwards depends on the route you used, and it is the choice that matters most for a first-time buyer.
Your crypto is sent to a wallet whose recovery credentials you control, such as the Bitcoin.com Wallet. Once the transaction has confirmed and the asset is available in your wallet, you can hold, send or use it without asking a provider to release it first.
If you buy on a centralized exchange, or through some payment apps, the crypto may initially stay in an account that the provider controls. To take self-custody, you withdraw it to an address you control on the right network.
| Aspect | Self-custody |
|---|
Neither model removes risk; they relocate it. Self-custody puts key management on you: if you lose access to the wallet and do not have a usable backup or recovery phrase, there may be no third party able to restore access. A custodial account hands that responsibility to a provider, and in exchange you depend on that provider staying solvent, available and willing to process your withdrawal.
Identity verification may be required when buying crypto with fiat currency. What is required depends on the payment provider, the transaction, the payment method and your location. On Bitcoin.com, the provider tells you during the purchase what verification it needs.
These requirements are set by the payment provider processing your transaction rather than by Bitcoin.com. Verification requirements differ between providers and purchase methods.
There are two reasons behind the requirement. Exchanging money for crypto is a regulated activity in most countries, so a provider has to establish who its customer is before processing a purchase, which is why the identity documents you supply go to the provider and not to us. The second reason is specific to crypto: a card payment can be reversed by the cardholder long after it has cleared, while a confirmed blockchain transaction cannot be reversed by anyone. The provider is taking an irreversible action on the strength of a reversible payment, which is why a crypto purchase asks for identification when an ordinary online checkout does not.
The advertised fee is only one part of the cost. Depending on where you buy, the total can also include:
The final amount of crypto you receive is the most useful comparison because it reflects the quoted rate and the costs included in the purchase.
There are four common places to buy: directly on this page with a card or bank transfer, in the Bitcoin.com Wallet app, on a centralized crypto exchange, or peer-to-peer. They differ mainly in who holds the crypto afterwards, which payment methods are accepted, how pricing works and how much verification is involved.
Buying here sends the crypto to the wallet you select during checkout, which can be a self-custody wallet you control. The same purchase flow is available in the Bitcoin.com Wallet app, which sets up a self-custody wallet on your device so the crypto arrives somewhere you already control.
A cryptocurrency exchange typically lets you buy and trade through an account controlled by the platform, often using an order book. You create an account, complete the exchange's verification requirements, fund the account, and place an order. The crypto remains in the exchange's custody unless you withdraw it, so many people move it to a personal wallet afterwards.
A peer-to-peer marketplace connects you directly with another person selling crypto. Some use escrow to hold the seller's asset while payment is completed. Payment methods vary widely and can include options card-based providers do not support, and depending on the marketplace, sellers may set their own rates or terms. P2P trades can involve counterparty risk as well as risks associated with the marketplace and payment method, so read the payment and release rules carefully before you send funds.
Dollar-cost averaging means buying the same amount at regular intervals rather than investing a larger amount at once. It spreads your purchases across different prices instead of requiring you to choose one entry point. Common schedules include weekly or monthly purchases.
