In order to participate in the digital sandbox, you'll need to turn some of your cash into crypto. We call this process "onramping", and it's quite easy with service providers like Coinbase and Kraken.
Coinbase is an easy onramp into the world of crypto. They offer fast deposits with US bank accounts, and even some debit cards as well. Choose an inexpensive and convenient option and you're on your way!
Coinbase will allow you to purchase USDC - a digital equivalent to the US dollar - directly from your funding source (like your debit card or bank account). And since you can use USDC to pay the one-time fee, you won't have to convert from USD to USDC before you send it off to us.
