Buying cryptocurrency
Select the cryptoasset you wish to purchase. For example, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Verse (VERSE) and tap the "Buy" button.
Follow the on-screen instructions to choose your preferred wallet for depositing. The Bitcoin.com Wallet actually consists of separate wallets for each cryptoasset we support (eg. BTC, ETH, VERSE). Additionally, you can make as many individual wallets as you want, a feature that can help you to organize your funds. For example, you can make one Bitcoin wallet called My BTC Savings and another Bitcoin wallet called Everyday BTC Spending.
If it's your first purchase, enter your credit card or other payment method information and verify your identity.
Once complete, your purchase will proceed.

Most subsequent transactions will be processed within about 20 minutes, but occasionally, during periods of congestion, it may take longer.
