A word before getting started

Our goal is to make N26 Crypto as easy as possible and that means sharing the risks with you: The market for crypto assets constitutes a high risk. Crypto assets are subject to high fluctuations in value — declines in value or a complete loss of the money spent are possible at any time. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The statements above do not constitute investment advice. N26 Crypto is powered by Bitpanda Asset Management GmbH.

FAQs about crypto coins

    A cryptocurrency coin is one unit of any currency that exists virtually. Cryptocurrency coins are secured by cryptography. Though different coins may have different uses, many coins may be used to trade, store value, or buy certain goods and services.

    Altcoins is the term for all cryptocurrencies that aren't Bitcoin. They're called altcoins because they are considered "alternatives" to Bitcoin, and many altcoins aim to improve or iterate on certain aspects of Bitcoin. There are now thousands of altcoins available with different uses (and potential uses). Some popular altcoins include Ethereum (ETH) and Cardano (ADA), both of which can be purchased with N26 Crypto.

    The main difference between a token and a cryptocurrency is that tokens don't have their own blockchain. They're non-native assets and need to use the infrastructure of another blockchain.

    There are two categories of cryptocurrencies: coins and tokens.
