How to Buy Ethereum: 5 Steps

Assess Your Risk
Ethereum, like all cryptocurrencies, is prone to price fluctuations. Past performance has shown both significant gains and sharp declines. Understanding these risks is crucial before proceeding with any purchase.
Choose a Crypto Exchange
Ethereum is not bought through traditional brokerage accounts, so you’ll need a crypto exchange. Beginner-friendly platforms like Robinhood or Cash App offer simplicity but come with limitations. Cryptocurrencies purchased on these platforms often can't be transferred to external wallets, limiting flexibility. If you want full control, opt for a dedicated crypto exchange that allows withdrawals to personal wallets.
Fund Your Account
Before buying Ethereum, deposit funds into your crypto exchange account. This can be done via a bank transfer, debit card, or PayPal, depending on the exchange. Be sure to review any fees that may apply depending on the payment method.
Buy Ethereum
Cryptocurrencies can be traded 24/7, unlike stocks or ETFs, which are tied to market hours. To purchase Ethereum, use its ticker symbol (ETH) in the exchange’s buy field and enter the amount you wish to purchase. You can buy fractional amounts if you’re not buying a full coin.
Selling Ethereum
To sell Ethereum, return to the exchange and specify how much you want to sell. While Ethereum is widely held, it’s important to ensure it aligns with your overall financial situation and risk tolerance.

Final Considerations

Before investing in Ethereum or any cryptocurrency, make sure your financial foundation is solid. Diversification is key, and cryptocurrencies should only make up a small portion of your overall portfolio.
