Want to give an original gift

Christmas is coming, and like every year, you need to find gifts for the whole family.

With the democratization and resounding success of cryptocurrencies, why not give them to your loved ones?

You’re probably thinking that this is a risky gift that can be quite complicated to take care of, but don’t panic, cryptocurrency buying platforms nowadays offer very simple solutions. And after all, it can be exciting to explain to your parents how a cryptocurrency wallet works.

In fact, cryptocurrency gifts could become commonplace, as according to a survey conducted by Crypto.com, 26% of Australians were planning to give cryptocurrency gifts to their loved ones, and of those, 53% wanted to give Bitcoin (BTC) or Ether (ETH).

So how do we do it?

We have selected for you the three cryptocurrency buying platforms that we think are the most relevant to offer crypto assets to your loved ones in a simplified way.

We will see, in order, how to proceed with Binance, Coinbase and then Crypto.com.

For Binance and Coinbase, it will be necessary that the person you wish to offer cryptocurrency to has a wallet dedicated to it. This is a very simple procedure that only takes a few minutes, and besides, you are there to explain how to do it, right?

And if you prefer to give a gift in physical form, it is also possible to offer a hardware wallet, such as the Ledger Nano X or its little brother, the Nano S.

Let’s start with Binance

The Binance buying and trading platform allows you to offer cryptocurrencies as a gift card. For this, you will need to have a Binance account yourself as well as the mobile app which is required to offer the card (make sure your app is up to date).

First, you will need to transfer the cryptocurrency from your spot wallet to your funding wallet.


Then go to the dedicated Binance page with your web browser and click on “Create”. You can scan the QR code that appears with your smartphone to get to the “gift card” page of the application.

If you want to go directly to the Binance app, just go to your profile at the top left of the homepage and press “Gift Card”.

Please note that anyone who has the gift card code will be able to benefit from it, so make sure you keep it in a safe place.


To send by e-mail, fill in the fields provided and press “send”.


There you go, your card has been successfully sent.

In order for the recipient to use the card, they will need to create a Binance account, go to the “gift card” page of the app, and select “receive”.

  4. Finally, click “Send Now” to send your gift.

If the recipient does not have a Coinbase account, they can simply create one here.

The offered amount will be available directly into the Coinbase account after clicking on the link in the email.

Give a gift with Crypto.com

From the Crypto.com mobile application, go to the main menu at the bottom of the screen.

Once in the menu, select “Pay”.


Then press “Send”.
