Recurring buy advantages
Invest with confidence
Implementing a trading strategy doesn’t always require complex charts and expensive computer hardware. Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) gives you the confidence to invest in crypto by making it simple and consistent. Daily, weekly, or monthly — you decide.
Navigate market volatility
Investing is easier when you don’t have to think about market fluctuations—that’s the beauty of dollar-cost averaging. By using recurring buys to invest over a period of time rather than in a lump sum, you reduce the impact of market volatility on your average purchase price.
Take the emotion out of investing
Take the emotion out of your crypto journey by auto-investing. No more trying to find the perfect time to trade. Dollar-cost averaging gives you a consistent strategy that requires minimal effort. Simply set up your recurring buy schedule and let us handle the rest.
