Sharesies Crypto is currently in early access
To access Sharesies Crypto before we roll out to everyone, you’ll first need to register your interest and be invited to early access.
When you can sell
Like buying crypto, you can generally sell crypto 24/7 (depending on platform availability)—markets never close.
Transaction fee
Each time you sell crypto, you’re charged a transaction fee on the amount received. There are no fee caps.
If you’re on a Sharesies plan, sell orders for crypto do not count towards your plan’s coverage.
The transaction fee is charged in USD.
Learn more about the transaction fee and how it’s calculated.
How to sell
The prices displayed for crypto investments are generally live and update every second.
Crypto prices are volatile, and can change between the time you place an order and when the order fills.
Head to the cryptocurrency you want to sell.
Select Sell.
Choose your order type:
Market order: Sells at the current market price.
Limit order: Sells at or above the price you’ve set.
Enter how much you want to sell. (Each coin has its own minimum sell amount—we’ll let you know if you meet it when entering your sell order.)
Review your order, then select ‘Sell’.
If you hold an amount of crypto that’s below the minimum sell amount, you’ll need to:
buy more to meet the minimum, or
wait until the value increases.
You won’t be able to edit an order once it’s been placed—you’ll need to cancel it and place it again.
Cancel your order
You can cancel an order before it fills and becomes a trade.
Market orders may fill and become a trade almost instantly, so it may not always be possible to cancel your order.
You can't cancel any part of an order that has already filled and become a trade.
Orders generally remain on market until they fill.
After your sell order fills
When you sell crypto, the proceeds are paid to your Wallet in USD.
You can hold your proceeds in USD, reinvest them in something else, or exchange them to NZD.
If you’d like to withdraw your money, you’ll need to convert it to NZD first.
When you exchange money, a currency exchange fee applies.
