4. Set up 2FA on your DSX account

Set up two-factor authorization on your account to protect you from hackers. While there is an option to choose between Google Authenticator and SMS, we highly recommend you opt for the Google Authenticator option as it is more secure. For this, you’ll need to download the Authenticator app from the PlayStore (Android) or App Store (iOS).

5. Add funds to your DSX account

For you to upload funds to your account on DSX, there are two ways; the first is through Bank transfer which will be available once you complete your KYC process as described above OR if you have a verified ePayments* account, you can link it and then deposit instantly.

*ePayments is an international payment provider that makes it easy to send money transfers across borders almost instantly.

First, you’ll need to select the “Add funds” option

Awesome! You have added funds on DSX.

 

6. Exchange your Fiat (USD, EUR etc.) to Litecoin on DSX

This is a relatively easy process and can be completed by clicking the “exchange” button once you’ve uploaded funds. There’s an alternative to this though (trading)

Nice work! You have successfully exchanged Fiat money to a Litecoin.

 

7. Trade Litecoin (alternative to buying) on DSX

This typically requires a bit more experience and is more advanced than simply exchanging fiat to crypto as explained above, however, even new users can effectively use this option. Buying bitcoins by trading means viewing, selecting and placing/taking orders yourself as opposed to simply buying.

This means you’ll either place a buy order called a limit order (e.g. if you expect the price of bitcoin to go to $6,000 and the current price is $7,000, you can place a bid order to buy bitcoin should it reach your $6,000 bid) OR you can market buy which means buying at current rate which sellers are selling for (called asks).

To trade on DSX, the exchange will first open a trading wallet for you and then you can trade as you please.

First, you’ll need to select the “trade” option off the menu.

Then you’ll click the “create” button to create an exchange wallet for you. You’ll then be able to trade freely.
