What are the pros and cons of buying crypto in Exodus?
Exodus gives you the option to buy crypto through various third-party fiat API providers, depending on your location.
Each platform has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to understand these differences before buying or selling crypto.
Below, we highlight the pros and cons of buying crypto in Exodus.
What are the pros?
Buying crypto in Exodus has many benefits. Here are some of the pros:
Convenient to use: You can buy crypto in a few easy steps.
Quick access: You can access your crypto in minutes rather than wait for the 5-7 day holding period required in most centralized exchanges.
Large crypto selection: All the most popular assets are available, and more.
Available in many locations: Among all third-party fiat API providers, you can buy crypto on 6 continents in over 150 countries.
Control and trust: You have full control of your crypto from the moment it arrives. Exodus never holds your funds.
Complete transparency: Unlike centralized exchanges, your wallet gives you a direct view of your assets on the blockchain, with no hidden activity.
What are the cons?
There are also a few disadvantages to buying crypto through a self-custody wallet. Here are the cons:
You have to manage your secret key and private keys: You're fully responsible for safeguarding your secret key and private keys. If lost, your funds can't be recovered.
Possibly higher fees: For the convenience of getting your funds in minutes and avoiding the 5-7 day holding period in most centralized exchanges, fees may be higher. You'll also pay network transaction fees to receive crypto in your wallet.
KYC process: You'll need to complete identity verification with the third-party API swap provider, and larger purchases may require additional documentation.
For more information on the differences between centralized exchanges and Exodus, please visit: What are centralized exchanges?
Where else can I buy or sell crypto?
Centralized exchanges
You can also use the following centralized exchanges:
All exchanges listed are third-party exchanges. Exodus has no affiliation with any of them, and we highly recommend that you do your own research before signing up for any exchange or service.
Peer-to-peer marketplaces
If a centralized exchange is not something you're interested in using, there are other services that can connect buyers to sellers in a peer-to-peer (P2P) system. Bisq is one example:
Bisq
Bitcoin ATMs
Bitcoin ATMs offer another way to buy crypto in person. With over 36,000 machines worldwide, they typically let you purchase crypto using a credit card, debit card, or cash.
Bitcoin (BTC) is the most commonly supported asset, but some ATMs also allow you to buy Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and others.
Most ATMs send the purchased crypto to your wallet address. You’ll usually scan a QR code from your wallet app, like Exodus, to receive the funds. To find your wallet address in Exodus, visit: How do I receive crypto?
In some cases, the ATM may print a paper wallet instead. If that happens, you can sweep the private key from the paper wallet into Exodus Desktop. To learn how to import or sweep a private key, visit: How do I import a private key?
