How to invest in Ethereum Classic

You need to understand the risk of getting into digital currencies such as ETC before investing. The dangers of trading cryptocurrencies are mainly related to their volatility. They are high-risk, speculative, susceptible to errors and hacking, mostly unregulated, and can be affected by forks or other discontinuation events. As an investor, you must understand these perils before you start trading. You can get a long position in Ethereum Classic in four ways:

Buy ETC through an exchange

Get yourself a crypto wallet before embarking on your Ethereum Classic journey. Crypto wallets exist as desktop applications, mobile apps, or websites, allowing you to secure your tokens or digital coins. Your crypto wallet stores the private keys to your tokens on the blockchain. Once you have a wallet, visit a reputable exchange and sign up for an account. You will need to complete the KYC process to be allowed to purchase Ethereum Classic. But before you can buy the tokens, you have to provide a photo of your ID and proof of address, as well as a selfie. The platform will also require you to secure your account with 2FA before you can fund your account and buy the digital coins.

Purchase fractions of Ethereum Classic through an exchange

You don't have to buy a full token when starting out since ETC is divisible by several decimal places. This allows you to purchase tiny fractions worth cents, but because of network fees, most platforms have a minimum figure, such as $10. You can then build your portfolio with time as you gain more confidence and learn the ropes of crypto trading.

Trade Ethereum Classic through a broker

If you don't want to store your Ethereum Crypto Coin yourself for one reason or another, you can still trade through a broker. Brokers hold your tokens and trade frequently to generate profits. In addition, many brokerage platforms offer derivative products, such as contracts for difference, that enable you to speculate on price movements. Such products also allow brokers to accommodate leverage trading, potentially multiplying your profits.

Invest in ETC through an exchange-traded fund (ETF)

You can also invest in ETC through an exchange-traded fund (ETF). This instrument helps track an asset or select assets. You can buy and sell them on stock exchanges, making them the best option for an average investor. Some ETFs may comprise several coins to spread risk across a portfolio. Such ETFs are created and controlled by picking a basket with several coins, while favoring those that have performed well in the recent past.
