Buy, Sell & Convert
Cryptocurrency From Just $1

Cryptocurrency (or crypto for short) is a form of digital money — sometimes referred to as a digital payment system — that isn’t tied to a central bank, government, or business.

Cryptocurrency is created, bought, sold, and traded on a global network of independent, decentralized computers (a true peer-to-peer system) that allows anyone anywhere to send and receive payments without going through a third party.

All transactions are recorded online in a digital database called a blockchain that uses powerful one-way encryption to ensure security and proof of ownership.

A blockchain is a distributed public ledger — or online digital database — that contains a record of all the transactions on a platform.

Some cryptocurrencies share a blockchain, while other cryptocurrencies operate on their own separate blockchains.

Blockchains are unique in that, once a transaction has been recorded and verified, it can’t be changed. The ledger only allows for one-way data modification.

For example, if you buy a cryptocurrency, the blockchain for that digital asset will forever show you as the owner unless you initiate a sell transaction. No one can go back and change that proof of ownership.

A crypto exchange is an online platform that allows users to buy, sell, trade, convert, and stake cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Binance Coin, Ethereum, and many others.

Crypto exchanges vary broadly in the services they offer. Some platforms only offer the ability to buy and sell, while others, like Binance.US, offer advanced services in addition to the basics, including:

• Buying and selling cryptocurrency
• Converting fiat currency (such as USD) into cryptocurrency
• Converting one cryptocurrency into another cryptocurrency
• Staking crypto to earn yield and staking rewards
• Advanced trading features such as dynamic pricing charts

To buy crypto, you’ll first need to choose a cryptocurrency platform and create an account. Next, fund your account by linking a bank account (ACH) or debit card, or entering your wire transfer information. Then, all you need to do is place your order.
