Frequently asked questions

  • What exactly is the COP/ETH trading pair and why is it important?

    The COP/ETH pair represents a direct fiat on-ramp, allowing you to buy the digital asset Ethereum (ETH) using Colombian Pesos (COP). Its importance lies in providing direct access to the vast Ethereum ecosystem, including decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi protocols, and NFT marketplaces, without first needing to convert COP to another major currency like USD. This simplifies the digital asset purchase process for users in Colombia.
  • What are the common methods for buying ETH with COP on a cryptocurrency exchange?

    To buy ETH with Colombian Pesos, most users utilize either centralized exchanges or P2P platforms that support local payment methods. Common deposit options include bank transfers via PSE (Pagos Seguros en Línea), bank deposits, or services like Nequi. On these platforms, you must typically complete KYC/AML compliance checks before you can link your bank account and place an order on the COP/ETH order book or directly with a peer.
  • Once I buy ETH with COP, do I need to worry about Ethereum's gas fees?

    Yes. The initial purchase from COP to ETH is a transaction on a centralized or P2P platform. However, once you own the ETH, any subsequent blockchain transaction you initiate—such as transferring it to a private digital wallet, staking it, or interacting with a smart contract on a dApp—will require you to pay gas fees. These fees, denominated in Gwei, are essential for processing operations on the Ethereum network and are separate from any trading fees on the exchange.
  • How can I securely store my ETH and related ERC-20 tokens after a COP transaction?

    For optimal security and self-custody, it's recommended to move your ETH from the exchange to a personal digital wallet. You can choose a software wallet (browser extension or mobile app) or a hardware wallet for the highest level of security. Any Ethereum-compatible wallet will allow you to control your own private keys and can also be used to store and manage any tokens built on the ERC-20 standard, giving you full control over your digital assets.
  • Are there specific Colombian regulations I should be aware of when trading the COP/ETH pair?

    While Colombia's crypto regulation is evolving, any reputable fiat on-ramp platform facilitating COP/ETH trades will adhere to strict KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering) protocols. This means you will be required to verify your identity. These measures are in place to comply with financial regulations, prevent illicit activities, and ensure a secure trading environment for all users. Always use platforms that are transparent about their compliance procedures.
