Buy Ethereum ETH (€1,873)

Ethereum is an open-source blockchain platform that uses a decentralized public ledger to verify and record transactions. The decentralized applications created on the blockchain platform are also called dApps. These dApps can then be published and applied by users. Ethereum users pay fees in the form of "gas fees" so that they can use the dApps. The gas transaction fees are highly variable because this is determined by the amount of computing power required on the Ethereum network to perform actions. For several years Ethereum has been the second cryptocurrency in terms of market value, behind Bitcoin.

Step 1: Create an Anycoin Direct account

At Anycoin Direct you can register for free after which you can easily buy, sell and store your Ethereum. On our cryptocurrency page you will find a full list of all our cryptocurrencies.

Step 2: Prepare your wallet

Having a wallet is essential for buying and selling Ethereum. On our wallet overview page we have compiled a selection of the (digital) Ethereum wallets we recommend. Make sure you always enter your wallet address correctly. Filling in your wallet address incorrectly can lead to losing your funds.

Step 3: Buy, sell and trade cryptocurrencies

Now that you are in control of an Anycoin Direct account and an Ethereum wallet, you can start buying and selling cryptocurrencies. By filling out the blue exchange bar, which can be found on the home, buy and sell page, you can indicate how many Euros you wish to invest or receive. After pressing the green button you will automatically enter our simple process.

Before you can buy Ethereum, you need to manage a personal (digital) wallet. It is possible to send and receive ETH to this wallet.

When you prepare your Ethereum wallet and click the 'receive' button, your Ethereum wallet address is shown, which you need to fill in in the flow to buy Ethereum. To sell Ethereum, you must click the 'send' button in your wallet.

An Ethereum wallet can be a physical device, such as a Ledger. This is the safest option as you have the hardware wallet physically located in your area in a safe place. If you want to choose a digital alternative we recommend Exodus, Guarda or MyEtherWallet. They all have different specifications, so decide for yourself which wallet suits you best.
