BUYING CRYPTO

Have your wallet set up and ready to go? Good.

With cryptocurrencies you have advantages on STOKR.

The STOKR platform accepts Euro, USD Stablecoins, on Bitcoin for crypto payments. When you use Euros as payment, there may be a day or two wait for bank transfers. This brings you at a risk that the security tokens may not be subscribed by the time your payments clear!

Cryptocurrency-based payments like with USD Stablecoins or Bitcoin can be settled almost immediately. So the risk of you being left out from an investment opportunity is limited.

Don’t have any cryptocurrencies? Let’s grab some.

Now, what do you do if you don’t have any crypto-assets yet? There are essentially two viable options:

You can use a crypto-exchange like Bitfinex, Coinbase, DeversiFI, Bitstamp or Kraken to conveniently exchange currency for crypto-assets online. Purchasing directly through an exchange is the easiest way to get started. If you want to buy via credit card/debit card you can also check out Bitpanda or Cex.io.

If you are paying in Ether or USD Stablecoins, don’t forget to transfer your crypto from your exchange account to the Metamask or Ledger connected with your STOKR account. Payments with Ether or USD Stablecoins can only be made from the Metamask or Ledger which is connected with your STOKR account. In case you are paying with Bitcoin, you can directly transfer the money from your external cryptocurrency wallets or cryptocurrency exchange account.

Crypto is peer-to-peer. So you also have the option to reach out to that one friend who told you about cryptocurrency for the first time. Trade fiat currencies (like € or £) with a friend who already owns crypto-assets.
