Among the best-known are platforms such as : <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/binance.com\/\"><strong>Binance.com<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bybit.com\/\"><strong>Bybit.com<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinbase.com\/fr\"><strong>Coinbase<\/strong><\/a> (in the United States)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitstamp.net\/\"><strong>Bitstamp<\/strong><\/a> (in Luxembourg)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/crypto.com\/\"><strong>Crypto.com<\/strong><\/a> (available only on mobile devices)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/swissborg.com\/fr\"><strong>Swissborg<\/strong><\/a> (also available on mobile devices only)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Check your identity (KYC)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Before you start trading, you&#8217;ll often need to verify your identity in accordance with the platform&#8217;s requirements. This process, known as <strong>KYC (Know Your Customer)<\/strong>, is a <strong>security measure designed to prevent money laundering<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deposit money<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Deposit funds into your trading account by bank transfer<\/strong>, which is usually an inexpensive option, <strong>or by credit card<\/strong>, although this often incurs higher fees. Pex: Crypto.com and others often have an Estonian, Lithuanian IBAN account.   <strong>(Binance is now connected with the belfius app)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exchanging euros for cryptocurrencies and vice versa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Once your funds are on the platform, you can exchange them for available cryptocurrencies<\/strong>. Make sure you comply with your country&#8217;s tax laws, such as those in Belgium, and manage your investments responsibly. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Protect your crypto-assets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Normally, you can leave your assets with the platforms. Especially if they are large platforms that have invested in their cybersecurity. <\/strong>. Mais il existe tjs une possibilit\u00e9 de hack ou de soci\u00e9t\u00e9 en faillite ! <\/p>\n\n<p>We therefore advise our readers to use a <strong>hardware wallet (called a cold wallet)<\/strong> such as <strong>Ledger<\/strong> to store your assets outside the exchange platform. This adds an <strong>extra layer of security<\/strong> in case of hacking or problems with the platform. This allows you to be your own bank, but it does include the risks of being your own bank!    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Comment Acheter ses Cryptos en toute S\u00e9curit\u00e9 &amp; Quelle Plateforme Choisir ?\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OlZbVwRVxX4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choose a reliable and secure exchange platform Opt for a CEX (Central Exchange) renowned for its reliability and security (most of them invest in their own cybersecurity).
