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.

What you can access

For early access and the initial launch period, you can invest in a select range of cryptocurrencies:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)

  • Ethereum (ETH)

  • XRP (XRP)

  • Solana (SOL).

We’ll be adding more coins and tokens down the line.

How to access crypto

If you’ve been invited to early access, you can access crypto from:

  • your Portfolio overview, under ‘More ways to build wealth’

  • the Explore tab in the Sharesies app or on desktop.

Before you can access crypto, you’ll need to read and acknowledge some risks specific to crypto.

Once you’re ready to go, you’ll be able to browse the cryptocurrencies available, read more about each one, and place buy or sell orders.

All in one place

Crypto investments live right alongside your other holdings, and can be viewed on your Portfolio overview. This makes it easy to keep track of your overall investment mix.

For now, you won’t be able to transfer crypto you hold elsewhere into Sharesies Crypto, or transfer crypto bought in Sharesies Crypto to a wallet outside of Sharesies.

We’re looking at offering crypto transfers in the future.

Do I need a crypto wallet?

Short answer: no.

With Sharesies Crypto, you don’t need to:

  • set up a separate crypto wallet

  • manage private keys

  • remember additional passwords.

You decide what you want to invest in, and we make it happen (working with Kraken), so you can focus on investing without the technical complexity.

Sharesies Crypto is offered by Sharesies Crypto Limited.
