What is Recurring Buy?
Recurring Buy is a feature in the Crypto.com App that makes investing effortless by automating your crypto purchases on a set schedule.
This allows you to implement the widely-used dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy, which helps smooth out your entry price over time and reduce the impact of market volatility.
Many investors prefer this approach as it minimises the risks of trying to time the market and takes emotions out of the investing process, making it a disciplined and reliable way to build your portfolio.
