A few things before getting started

Digital assets present a risk of total or partial loss of capital due to the specific volatility of digital asset prices and due to cybersecurity risks. A return equal to the money spent is not guaranteed and a complete loss of the money spent is possible at any time. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Make sure you have sufficient knowledge before proceeding with any transaction.****

    Cryptocurrencies are currencies that exist virtually and are protected by cryptography. Although different coins may have different uses, many coins can be used for trading, storing value, or purchasing certain goods and services. You can learn more about the basics of crypto in our beginner’s guide to cryptocurrency.

    Cryptocurrencies have many potential use cases—some already real, and some still a bit theoretical. Some people also buy cryptocurrencies to hold or sell later, in the hope that their value will increase over time. Others may buy crypto because they believe in the future of decentralized finance, or want to support a specific crypto project they believe in. Before trading crypto, you should know that many cryptocurrencies are subject to extreme fluctuations in value and carry the risk of total loss of value.

    Thanks to our partnership with Bitpanda, a registered digital assets service provider, you can buy and sell almost 200 kinds of coins directly from your N26 app. Current coin offerings include some of the biggest cryptocurrencies by market cap, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many more.
