How is the price determined?

When you purchase cryptocurrency through the Buy / Sell service, the amount you buy or sell for is not the same. The buy and sell prices are based off of the current spread.

We offer cryptocurrency to you at a mid-market rate, which includes a margin, or spread. To explain what this means:

Mid-market rate is determined by looking at the current price of cryptocurrency across multiple exchanges, while considering market volatility and other factors.
Spread is the difference between the current bid price and ask price of the cryptocurrency. The volatility of the cryptocurrency's price in the market is another factor to consider.
Transaction Fees: You are not charged a transaction fee, or any other fees when using the Buy / Sell service.
