What is Dash?
Dash is a digital currency built for payments. It is designed to let people send quick, low-cost payments without relying on a central authority, using a decentralized peer-to-peer network secured by cryptography.
A key Dash feature is its two-tier network. The second layer uses masternodes, which provide extra network functions including InstantSend for fast transaction handling and CoinJoin for optional privacy.
How to buy Dash in the US
In the Crypto.com App, the basic flow is:
- Sign up and verify your identity.
- Top up your account.
- Go to the trading screen, select Dash and complete your purchase.
Ways to fund a Dash purchase
You can fund your account and buy Dash in the App using bank transfer, debit or credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or crypto deposited from another wallet.
Starting with a small Dash purchase
The minimum amount required to buy Dash on Crypto.com is US$1. In practice, that means you can buy a fraction of Dash rather than needing to commit a large upfront amount.
Buying Dash means acquiring the digital asset and holding it, typically over a longer period. Once you own Dash, you can hold it in the App wallet. This is different from day trading, which involves actively buying and selling Dash over short timeframes and depends heavily on timing and market swings.
