How to buy crypto

To buy crypto on Ndax, go to the Trade page, select Buy, choose the pair, and enter the amount. A market order buys right away at the best available price. You'll need enough CAD in your wallet to cover the purchase and the 0.20% trading fee, and you'll see the total before you confirm. 

• Verify your account and make sure you have enough CAD available.
• Read the Crypto Asset Statement. Before you buy an asset, read its Crypto Asset Statement. It explains the asset, its risks, and the review Ndax carried out before making it available.
• Check your investment limit. In some provinces, you can only buy a set amount of most crypto in a 12-month period. See Investment limits.
• Check the fee. See Trading fees on Ndax. 

These steps place a market order, which buys right away at the best available price. To use other order types, see Common order types.
