What are Ethereum and ETH?

Ethereum is a decentralised blockchain network and software development platform. Ether (ETH) is the network's native cryptocurrency.

ETH is used to pay transaction fees, often called gas fees, whenever people use Ethereum or the applications built on it. ETH also helps to secure the network. Put simply, buying ETH means acquiring Ethereum's native asset.

How to buy ETH in the UK

In the Crypto.com App, the basic steps are:

  1. Create your account and confirm your email.
  2. Add funds using an available payment method.
  3. Open the Crypto.com App, tap 'Buy' and search for Ethereum.
  4. Choose a payment method, enter the amount in GBP you want to spend and tap 'Confirm' once you've reviewed the details.

Trading is subject to account verification and eligibility.

Can you buy a fraction of ETH?

Yes. You don't need to buy a whole ETH. You can buy fractional amounts of Ethereum from as little as £1 in the Crypto.com App.

Which payment methods can you use in the UK?

For users in the UK, the pound sterling (GBP) is the main fiat currency accepted. You can deposit GBP by bank transfer to your fiat wallet, which is free on Crypto.com.
