What is DCA?
DCA stands for Dollar Cost Averaging. It’s a strategy where you invest a fixed amount of money in a cryptocurrency at regular intervals (e.g., weekly or monthly), regardless of whether the price is rising or falling.
Why is it useful?
Because it removes the pressure of “guessing” the best time to buy. Instead of trying to figure out if today’s price is high or low, you simply make automatic purchases and gradually accumulate crypto at an average price.
Is it better than buying all at once?
Buying all at once carries the risk of entering just when the price is high. With DCA, you smooth out the ups and downs: sometimes you buy at a higher price, sometimes lower, and over time you reduce that risk.
Do I need a lot of money to start?
No. You can start with small, consistent amounts—the key is regularity. Even €10 per month can make a difference over the long term.
How does it work in our app?
Select the “Recurring Order” option when starting a crypto purchase to set up a recurring order.
What if the market goes down?
If the price falls, your recurring purchase will get you more crypto units for the same amount of money. This helps improve your average purchase price over time.
And if the market goes up?
You’ll still be buying, but fewer units for the same money. The benefit is that over time you’ll have a balanced average and won’t be exposed to just one entry price.
Can I stop or change recurring orders?
Yes. You’re in control and can pause, cancel, or adjust your recurring purchase plan at any time.
Is this a safe strategy?
No strategy is without risk: cryptocurrencies can rise or fall sharply. But DCA is very popular because it helps reduce the impact of volatility and encourages long-term saving and investing habits.
