What are Bitcoin Cash and BCH?
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a cryptocurrency designed for peer-to-peer electronic cash. In practice, people can use it to send value directly to another person or merchant.
Bitcoin Cash began in 2017 after a split from the Bitcoin blockchain. Its design focuses on low-cost payments. BCH also has a fixed maximum supply of 21 million coins.

You can buy Bitcoin Cash using AED or USD. Funding options include bank transfer, debit or credit card (Visa or Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay or a crypto transfer.
AED bank transfers are free on Crypto.com, and you can deposit USD via SWIFT transfer. Crypto deposits are free too, though other network charges may apply.
If you fund with a crypto transfer, use the deposit details shown in the App. Depositing a non-supported token may result in the loss of those tokens, and crypto transactions are irreversible.
Can you buy less than one Bitcoin Cash?
Yes. You don't need to buy a whole coin, because cryptocurrencies are divisible.
You can buy fractional amounts of Bitcoin Cash from as little as 10 AED. Before confirming, double-check that the amount, payment method and asset are the ones you want.
