Two easy ways to buy Bitcoin
You can buy Bitcoin directly on a cryptocurrency exchange or indirectly through exchange-traded ETPs and ETFs. Both options are safe when you choose regulated platforms.
Buy on a cryptocurrency exchange
The most direct method. Sign up, verify your identity, deposit euros and buy Bitcoin instantly.
- Choose a regulated exchange and create your account.
- Verify your identity with an official document.
- Deposit euros by card or bank transfer.
- Buy Bitcoin and store it in your wallet or on the exchange.
Buy Bitcoin ETPs or ETFs
If you prefer not to manage cryptocurrencies directly, you can invest in Bitcoin through an ETP or ETF that trades on your regular stock exchange.
- Open an account with a stock broker or bank with low fees.
- Find the Bitcoin ETP or ETF by its ticker (for example, BTCE or COIN).
- Enter the amount you want to invest and confirm the order.
- The broker holds the product for you; no crypto wallet needed.
Why use an exchange?
It is the most flexible option: you can buy, send, receive and use Bitcoin freely, and it usually has the lowest fees for small amounts.
Why use an ETP?
It is the most familiar option if you already invest in stocks: you do not have to manage private keys or worry about wallet security.
