Is Buying Cryptocurrency Instant?

Modified on Thu, 20 Jul 2023 at 04:35 PM

Cryptocurrency trades are not always instant, and the duration of the trade depends on several factors, such as:

  • Payment method
    Some payment methods take more time than others due to the time needed for the payment to be processed or any verifications that may be needed between the buyer and the seller.

  • Availability of the seller
    Although offers are published and active, the seller may not always be online.

  • Offer terms and instructions 
    Some sellers have specific conditions and steps for you to follow, which may take some time.


Actions to speed up your trade:

  • Read the terms of the chosen seller before starting a trade
    Go through the terms carefully to ensure that the deal matches your needs.

  • Chat directly with the seller
    Cryptocurrency sellers will often reply to inquiries directly, saving both you and their time.

  • Choose offers with sellers who are online
    When the seller was last seen online is clearly shown under the seller’s name.
