What are Polkadot and DOT?

Polkadot is a digital asset available to buy and manage in the Crypto.com App. The Staking feature in the App identifies Polkadot by the ticker DOT.

How to buy Polkadot in the US

In the Crypto.com App, the basic flow is:

  1. Sign up and verify your identity.
  2. Top up your account with an available payment method.
  3. Go to the trading screen, select Polkadot and complete your order if you want to proceed.

You can start with as little as US$1, which means you can buy a small fraction of Polkadot rather than a whole unit.

Ways to pay for Polkadot

You can fund your account and buy Polkadot in the App using bank transfers, including ACH or wire; debit or credit cards; Apple Pay or Google Pay; PayPal; or crypto deposited from another wallet.

If you deposit crypto from another wallet, use a supported token and the correct deposit address. Crypto transactions are irreversible, and trying to deposit a non-supported token may result in loss of tokens.

What to know before staking DOT

After buying DOT, you can hold it in the App wallet. If the Staking feature in the App is available to you, DOT is listed as supported with rewards credited to your Staked Balance and an estimated unbonding period of 29 days.

Staking is not available in New York, California, Maryland, New Jersey or Wisconsin. Reward rates shown in the App are estimates, actual rewards are not guaranteed and Crypto.com service fees are deducted from staking rewards. Staking rewards, fee reduction, and other benefits referenced in this article may be subject to eligibility requirements, token holdings, and may change at the discretion of Crypto.com.

FAQs

Investing in Polkadot means buying and holding a digital asset with the expectation that its value may increase over time. Depending on the asset, it can also be used for transactions, access to a network, or participation in a broader financial system - all without relying on traditional intermediaries like banks.

Download the Crypto.com App from the App Store or Google Play, sign up and complete identity verification. Fund your account via bank transfer or use faster options like Apple Pay or card. Once funds are available, you can buy Polkadot and manage it in one place.

Investing in Polkadot typically means buying and holding it over a longer period, with the expectation that its value will increase over time. It’s generally lower effort and less sensitive to short-term price movements.

Day trading, by contrast, involves actively buying and selling Polkadot over short timeframes, usually within the same day, to profit from price volatility. It requires more time, skill, and risk management, as outcomes depend heavily on timing and market swings.

The minimum amount required to invest in Polkadot on Crypto.com is very low - you can start with as little as $1.

In practice, this means you can buy a small fraction of Polkadot and gradually build your position over time, rather than needing to commit a large upfront amount.

You can fund your account and invest in Polkadot on the Crypto.com App using bank transfers (ACH or wire), debit or credit cards, Apple Pay or Google Pay, PayPal, or by depositing crypto from another wallet.
