How to Sell OMG (OmiseGo)
As a crypto trader or investor, there may be times when you’ll need to sell OMG.
Fortunately, an exchange like Kraken with a real-time order book can offer you the ability to sell OMG for a wide variety of other assets, as well as a range of government currencies.
That said, OMG is a cryptocurrency, meaning it trades against these assets on an open market. Depending on when you decide to sell OMG, buyers may offer higher or lower prices.
Please note, if you’ve been storing your OMG in a wallet you control, you may also need to buy ether. As OMG runs on Ethereum, sending OMG to an exchange requires costs be paid to its network. (For more on how this works, visit our ‘What is Ethereum?’ guide).
Once you decide to sell OMG, follow the steps outlined below.
