What are Dogecoin and DOGE?
Dogecoin (DOGE) is an open-source, peer-to-peer digital currency. Its main purpose has always been to work as a currency: a way to send and receive value in crypto.
Dogecoin is also a community-driven cryptocurrency linked to the Shiba Inu meme. One practical use is tipping: sending DOGE to reward someone for creating or sharing online content.
How to buy Dogecoin in the UK
In the Crypto.com App, the basic steps are:
- Sign up and verify your identity.
- Top up your account.
- Go to the trading screen, select Dogecoin and complete the transaction.
Trading is subject to account verification and eligibility.
What payment methods can you use?
You can fund your account for Dogecoin with a bank transfer, debit or credit card (Visa or Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay, or by depositing crypto from another wallet. Bank transfers and crypto deposits are free on Crypto.com, though other charges may apply to crypto deposits.
If you deposit crypto from another wallet, check that the token and address are supported before you send. Crypto transactions are irreversible, and sending an unsupported token may result in the loss of your tokens.
