Step-by-step: How to buy Monero

AlexCooper
1.

Create an account at a crypto exchange

Create an account at Kraken (our recommendation) or Binance (currently offering the lowest XMR price). Sign up with email and password. In most cases, the next step is an identity verification process, so it’s best to have your ID card or passport ready.

2.

Add a payment method

Add your preferred payment method to your account. Depending on the exchange, you can choose between credit card, bank transfer, or instant payment options. Some exchanges also support PayPal or Apple Pay, although these usually come with slightly higher fees.

MoneroBuy
3.

Select Monero (XMR) to buy

Navigate to the buy or trading section and select Monero (XMR) from the list of available cryptocurrencies. Alternatively, you can type “Monero” into the search bar. Some exchanges also offer different order types, such as market or limit orders.

Thank you for your purchase
4.

Enter amount & complete purchase

Enter the amount in dollars you want to use to buy Monero and review the transaction details such as fees and exchange rate. Confirm the purchase, and within a few seconds, the purchased coins will be credited to your account.

The all-time high refers to the highest price a cryptocurrency has ever reached. It marks the point at which the cryptocurrency’s value hit its previous peak, based on available historical data.

Price trend

Price trend

The price trend shows short-term price action over the last 30 trading days. For each day, the open is compared to the close: if the close is higher, the day is marked green; otherwise red. A sustained majority of green days suggests an uptrend that may persist in the short to medium term.

Fear & Greed Index

Fear & Greed Index

The Fear and Greed Index for cryptocurrencies is a sentiment indicator measuring market mood on a scale from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed). It aggregates data from various sources such as volatility, market momentum, social media, market dominance, and Google Trends to assess overall market sentiment. Values in the “Greed” range (55-100) indicate a positive, potentially overoptimistic market mood, signaling a possibly overheated market. A “Neutral” value (45-54) reflects a balanced market sentiment. Values in the “Fear” range (0-44) indicate negative market sentiment, signaling fear or pessimism among investors and possibly an undervalued market.

Relative Strength Index

Relative Strength Index

The Relative Strength Index (RSI, last 14 days) is a popular financial indicator ranging from 0 to 100. It signals whether an asset is overvalued or overbought (above 70) or undervalued or oversold (below 30). Values between 30 and 70 indicate that the asset is fairly or neutrally valued. A low RSI below 30 can signal a potential buying opportunity due to undervaluation. RSI and other indicators should never be used as the sole basis for investment decisions.

Buying Monero: One-time or dollar-cost averaging (DCA)?

USD
Start date

One-time investment

With a one-time investment, you invest your entire planned amount in Monero (XMR) all at once and hold your position for the long term. The idea behind this strategy is simple: “Time in the market beats timing the market.” In other words, staying invested as long as possible is often better than trying to find the perfect entry point.
