Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency, also known as crypto, is a digital currency designed to work as a medium of exchange. It uses cryptography to secure and verify transactions, as well as to control the creation of new units of a particular digital currency. To help protect you from price manipulation and potential fraud, we only offer large, established cryptocurrencies with real-world use cases. Check out this article to see what coins we offer and get more information about buying crypto on Stash.

Stash also offers indirect cryptocurrency exposure through Smart Portfolio. Specifically, Delaware Statutory Trusts are used as a substitute for a small part of the bond holdings in your Smart Portfolio.
