Investing in crypto might seem complicated at first, but with the right tools, anyone can start with confidence. For people in Latin America looking for a secure and accessible way to take their first steps into the crypto world, platforms like Bitso can be a great starting point, not just for crypto but for investments as a whole. That is why in this guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know about Bitso, from how it works to how you can start your investment journey safely and efficiently.

A Fresh Approach to Investing

Bitso is a financial services platform for the digital economy. Beyond a place to buy and sell crypto, it’s a tool designed to simplify your financial life. We offer access to over 130 cryptocurrencies, from Bitcoin to the most innovative next-gen tokens and you can easily manage a wide variety of crypto assets, along with local currencies like Pesos, Reais and Digital Dollars.

In addition to our wide crypto offering, you can also put your holdings to work and earn weekly yields automatically with Earnings. This lets you make your crypto work for you.

And if you want to diversify your portfolio, we’re adding even more options. Soon, you’ll also be able to trade U.S. stocks and ETFs directly from the Bitso app, turning your pesos into global stocks.

This is all part of our goal to give you more freedom and control over your finances, because with Bitso, you can convert your pesos into crypto, Digital Dollars, or global stocks, all from one trusted platform.

Smart Strategies for Your First Investment

Your first steps into crypto can be exciting, but it’s always smart to have a strategy. Investing with a secure and accessible platform like Bitso can give you a great start. Here are some principles to help you feel confident as you begin:

• Start small. You don’t have to invest a lot to get started. You can start with as little as 100 Mexican pesos (or the equivalent in other currencies). This lets you learn how the platform and the market work without overcommitting.
• Diversify your portfolio. With Bitso, you don’t have to choose between crypto and traditional investments. You can combine them and hold crypto, Digital Dollars, and soon even U.S. stocks in one single portfolio for easier diversification. It’s not about choosing one over the other; it’s about leveraging both to strengthen your financial strategy.
• Put your assets to work. Your crypto can do more than just sit there. With Earnings, you can generate weekly yields on eligible assets without fees or lockups—your funds won’t ever be locked so you can withdraw them anytime.

With Bitso, you have the tools you need to start your crypto journey with total security and confidence. From price alerts and real-time charts to advanced security measures, we give you the control so that with patience and strategy, you can navigate crypto finances with ease.
