How to buy DigiByte (DGB) in the UK

Current Price: £0.01   24hr: -0.26%

You can purchase DigiByte using your British debit/credit card (or bank transfer) using Binance. While Binance is the simplest method, you may prefer to use a cryptocurrency exchange. To do so, you will first need to acquire Bitcoin (BTC) and then trade it for DGB on an exchange. We outline both options below. At the end of the guide, we provide advice on safely storing your new DigiByte.


Recommended: Buy DigiByte with Binance

This is a great option for anyone looking to buy DGB with British Pounds in a simple and safe way.

Binance accept debit and credit cards, as well as bank transfers (including UK Faster Payments).

If you are new to the crypto space, Binance is undoubtedly one of the well-known cryptocurrency trading platforms. The massive trade volume and the options for other currencies make it the best.

Here’s how you can buy USDT with Binance: 

  1. Sign up for an account on Binance
  2. Next, proceed with the verification process
  3. Once you are verified, you can buy USDT on Binance via Credit/Debit card, Bank Deposit, P2P trading and third-party payment
  4. You will receive the USDT  to your account once you have successfully paid


Alternative: Buy BTC and trade for DGB on an exchange

There are not many reputable cryptocurrency exchanges that offer DigiByte, so we do recommend our first option, above. However, if you do wish to trade BTC for DGB on an exchange, you can use KuCoin.

This step assumes you already have Bitcoin. If you don’t, you can buy Bitcoin at any of the following options:

  • Binance (recommended; buy with £GBP or €EUR)
  • CEX.io (recommended; buy with £GBP)
    • July 2019 UPDATE: CEX.io now accepts Faster Payments, i.e. free and instant GBP deposits (up to £250k).
    • Buy BTC straight away with your debit or credit card, or bank transfer.
  • Local Bitcoins (buy with £GBP)
    • Buy BTC from other Brits using bank transfer.
  • Coinbase (buy with EUR)

DigiByte Wallets: Safely Storing your DGB

We always recommend that you move your cryptocurrencies off of exchanges if you are planning to hold on to them. This way, you’ll hold the keys to your wallet, and therefore will truly own your coins.

Hardware Wallets (recommended)

The most secure option that we recommend is to purchase a hardware wallet: a small electronic device that is immune to many of the threats that software wallets face (such as viruses and hacks).

The most reputable and appropriate hardware wallet for most of our visitors is the Ledger Nano S, which allows you to securely store a number of cryptocurrencies, including DigiByte. You can see a full list of supported cryptocurrencies here.
