GETTING STARTED
Elbaite's secure and unique P2P marketplace makes it easy and hassle-free to buy crypto directly to your wallet address.
Fund your Elbaite account with your US bank account. This can be done via wire transfer and once done, you will be ready to trade.
Select an offer from the marketplace, select your destination wallet address and then pay for it with your USD balance. Our escrow system will hold your USD balance until we verify on the blockchain that your destination wallet address has received the crypto.
Once we have verified on the blockchain that you have received your crypto, the USD will be released to the seller. This secure escrow mechanism means you will receive your crypto, direct to your wallet with peace of mind.
