How to Buy Crypto in Portfolio Dapp for a Simple Experience

In our ongoing quest to make MetaMask users’ lives easier, we are launching the Buy Crypto feature in MetaMask Portfolio for an easy purchasing experience. Simply navigate to the Buy tab in the dapp, connect your MetaMask wallet, and select a token.

MetaMask Extension users will now be redirected to MetaMask Portfolio automatically when selecting the “Buy” button in the wallet.

The ideal quote

Buying crypto on MetaMask Portfolio takes into account a number of variables to present you with a customized quote:

• Region: Available to users in 189 countries.
• Payment Method: Availability of payment methods will vary by location. Choose from debit or credit card, PayPal, Bank Transfer, or Instant ACH. Other payment methods will be added soon.
• Token: 90+ tokens available to purchase across 8 networks (Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche Contract Chain, Fantom, and Celo).
• Amount: Based on the region you select and its various KYC laws, you could be subject to order limits.
