Guides
- Stablecoins Explained: How They Work and What Can Go Wrong
A stablecoin is a token built to hold a fixed value, usually one US dollar, and it holds that value either because an issuer keeps cash and short-term government debt in reserve against every token in circulation or because code adjusts supply to chase the peg, and it is the second design that has failed most often.
- How to Buy Crypto With a Bank Transfer (ACH, SEPA, Faster Payments, Wire)
Buying crypto with a bank transfer means moving currency from your bank into your exchange account over a domestic payment rail and then placing the order from the cash balance, which is normally the cheapest way to fund an account and differs from card funding mainly in speed and in the withdrawal holds that follow.
- Buying Crypto With PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay
Apple Pay and Google Pay are wrappers around a card you already hold, so on an exchange they are priced and treated exactly like a card deposit, while PayPal is a separate funding method with its own availability and its own fees, and all three settle instantly and then sit under a withdrawal hold.
