• Create an account
• Deposit funds

Investing in digital currencies can feel daunting at first, but once you've made your first purchase, transaction, or sale, you'll see that using cryptocurrencies is simpler than expected.

Whether you're a trader/investor in the UK, EU, EEA, or USA, everyone can gain access to the crypto markets through the Tap mobile app.

In this article, we're going to show you the ropes, guide you through the process and explain step-by-step how to gain the skills to successfully operate in the crypto space and increase your investment portfolio. No previous trading experience is necessary (stocks or crypto).

Step 1: create an account

The first and most important decision to make before buying cryptocurrencies is determining where to buy them from. With plenty of options available on the market and plenty more news stories about them, it's imperative that you select a trustworthy and reliable source.

The Tap mobile app ticks these boxes and proves so by being licensed and regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission. The platform has over 300,000 registered users, at the time of writing, operates in 28 countries across the globe, and has been nominated multiple times for PAY360 Awards (previously the Emerging Payments Awards). 

To create an account on Tap, simply follow these steps:

• Download the Tap mobile app from either the Apple or Google Play store.
• Create an account by filling in the relevant information. If you make a mistake, simply go back and alter it before moving to the next step.
• Once the account is set up you will be asked to complete the KYC / identity verification process. Simply follow the onscreen prompts and submit the required information. 
• You will receive an email confirmation once your account is all set up. 

Step 2: deposit funds

In order to buy cryptocurrency through the Tap app, you will need to deposit funds. This can be done in both crypto and fiat currencies, however, we will focus on the fiat deposits today. 

• Select the Cash option in the top horizontal menu.
• Select the fiat currency you would like to deposit, your options are US dollars, Pound Sterling, or Euros. 
• We're selecting GBP, then select one of the options: deposit or debit card top-up. 
• Fill in the relevant information and perform the transaction. 
• Once the funds have cleared they will appear in the relevant Cash wallet. 

Step 3: Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other cryptocurrency

Now for the exciting part! It's time to buy digital currency. For the sake of this tutorial, we're going to show you how to buy Bitcoin, however, the process is consistent across all cryptocurrencies. 

• In the top horizontal menu, select Cryptocurrencies.
• Choose the cryptocurrency you would like to purchase. 
• Once in the crypto wallet, select the blue Buy button. 
• You'll be given the option to decide how to pay, simply scroll to the bottom and select Pound Sterling (or the crypto or fiat currency that you deposited).
• Enter the amount that you would like to purchase.
• Select the Execute Trade button.
• Once the transaction is completed, the funds will appear in your Bitcoin wallet. 

Step 4: Sell A Cryptocurrency

Now that you're familiar with how to buy crypto, it's high time you learned how to sell. 

• To sell Bitcoin (or any other cryptocurrency), go to the relevant wallet in the Crypto section.
• Select the blue Sell button. 
• From here you can decide whether you'd like to sell the cryptocurrency for another cryptocurrency or for a fiat currency. In this example, we'll sell BTC for GBP. 
• Select the Pound Sterling option and enter the amount of BTC you'd like to sell.
• Proceed with the Execute Trade button.
• The funds will then be available in your Cash GBP wallet.

Step 5: Withdrawal Funds

Completing the final process in this step-by-step guide, we're going to explain how to withdraw funds. You have several options here as the Tap app allows users to withdraw funds directly into their bank account, instantly send funds to other Tap users, or withdraw cryptocurrencies.

• In the top horizontal menu, select Cash.
• Choose the Withdraw button, located underneath your balance. 
• Select the option most preferable to you: Instant, to a Tap user; bank transfer; Crypto withdrawal. 
• Follow the relevant instructions and select Execute Trade once complete.

On top of the simple and easy-to-use app, Tap also offers highly secure wallet solutions that are integrated into your account from the get-go. With Tap, you can securely store and manage a wide range of cryptocurrencies from one convenient location, and even more easily spend them using the Tap card.

Bitcoin 101

Here are several frequently asked questions regarding Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency to come into existence.

The way money moves is changing fast: digital currencies have evolved from investment assets to practical tools for daily transactions. With big names like Microsoft, AT&T, and Starbucks now accepting crypto payments, mainstream acceptance is officially on the rise.

Why businesses are making the switch

Financial efficiency

• Near-instant settlement times
• Minimal transaction fees, especially for cross-border payments
• No currency conversion costs
• Reduced operational overhead

Enhanced security architecture

The underlying blockchain technology provides businesses with unprecedented security benefits:

• Immutable transaction records
• Distributed verification systems
• Protection against unauthorised reversals
• Reduced risk of payment fraud

Market expansion opportunities

By accepting cryptocurrency, businesses can:

• Tap into the growing crypto-native consumer base
• Reach underbanked populations globally
• Operate in international markets without traditional banking constraints
• Appeal to privacy-conscious customers

Implementation guide: accepting crypto payments

Step 1: Choose your integration method

• Direct wallet-to-wallet transfers
• Payment processor integration
• Hybrid solutions with automatic conversion to fiat

Step 2: Set up your infrastructure

Customer transaction process

1. Selection: Customer chooses cryptocurrency payment option
2. Verification: System generates unique payment address or QR code
3. Transfer: Customer initiates payment from their digital wallet
4. Confirmation: Transaction is verified on the blockchain
5. Completion: Payment is settled and order is processed

Future-proofing your business

The adoption of cryptocurrency payments isn't just about staying current - it's about preparing for a future where digital currencies play an increasingly important role in global commerce. Businesses that integrate these payment systems now gain:

• First-mover advantage in their market
• Experience with blockchain technology
• Enhanced appeal to tech-savvy customers
• Operational flexibility for future expansion

Privacy and transparency balance

One of cryptocurrency's unique features is its ability to provide both privacy and transparency simultaneously:

• Transactions are publicly recorded but pseudonymous
• Customer personal data isn't required for processing
• Audit trails are automatically maintained
• Regulatory compliance is simplified through built-in tracking

Looking ahead

The crypto revolution isn't just changing how we think about money – it's transforming how businesses operate. Forward-thinking companies integrating digital currencies are doing more than just adding another payment option; they're positioning themselves at the cutting edge of a new financial era.

Think of cryptocurrency adoption like the early days of e-commerce. What seemed optional in the late '90s quickly became essential for survival. We're seeing similar patterns with digital currencies, where early adopters are gaining valuable experience and competitive advantages while others play catch-up.

The real power of crypto payments extends far beyond transactions. They're unlocking new business models, breaking down international barriers, and offering unprecedented financial flexibility. For businesses eyeing global expansion or looking to reduce transaction costs, crypto isn't just an alternative – it's becoming a strategic imperative.

The decision to accept cryptocurrency payments should be based on your business's specific needs and goals. But let's be practical: timing matters. Your business's unique circumstances – market position, customer base, technical capabilities – should guide your implementation strategy. While the question of adoption is shifting from "if" to "when," rushing in without proper preparation could do more harm than good.

Smart implementation means integrating crypto alongside your existing payment infrastructure. Think of it as expanding your payment ecosystem rather than replacing it. Your customers should have choices, whether they're crypto enthusiasts or prefer traditional payment methods to ensure maximum customer accessibility and business flexibility.

From there, order your card in the settings, which will be delivered to your door, and select which rewards program best suits your needs. We’ve designed several options to cater to our clients' vast range of needs, ranging from cashback rewards of 0.5% to up to 8%. 

Once you’ve decided, select your option, follow the instructions and you’ll immediately be eligible to earn cashback on all your crypto or fiat Tap Card purchases. Just like that. 

Maximising your cashback rewards in cryptocurrency

Want to supercharge your crypto cashback rewards? Here's how to do it. First, get savvy with your spending. Use crypto cards for purchases in their high-reward categories, and don't forget to pair them with loyalty programs for extra perks. To really amp things up, try stacking rewards by using shopping portals alongside your cashback cards. Also, keep an eye out for bonus periods and sales – they're perfect for timing those big purchases you've been planning.

Then look for refer your friend programs to earn some bonus rewards, and if you can, pay bills with methods that earn rewards. And don't be afraid to juggle a few different cards to make the most of various reward structures. The path to earning Bitcoin just became a whole lot clearer.

Common mistakes to avoid when earning crypto cashback

• Avoid sharing your private keys or personal information with anyone.
• Be cautious of scams or phishing attempts that may try to trick you into giving away your crypto or user details.
• Double-check the terms and conditions of the program to ensure you meet all requirements for earning cashback.
• Don't forget to track your earnings and keep your cryptocurrency secure.

Tap experienced a significant growth in our user base during Q1 2023. While this was a cause for celebration, it also attracted the unwanted attention of fraudsters. Lured by our platform's quick onboarding and seamless fiat and crypto transactions, these fraudsters exploited remote access tools like Teamviewer and Anydesk to abuse vulnerable individuals . In response, we felt compelled to implement a robust and necessary Anti-Scam Protection Feature.

This feature, while stringent and non-negotiable, is not designed to control our users' app preferences. Instead, it is a forceful, yet crucial measure to ensure their safety and protect the integrity of our platform.

Regulatory Responsibility: As a regulated financial entity, we're duty-bound to shield our users from potential threats and foster safe digital practices. Our Anti-Scam Protection Feature stands as testament to this commitment. It doesn't merely warn users about potentially risky apps; it mandates their removal to ensure the secure use of our services.

Proactive Measures: Scams utilizing remote access tools can be highly sophisticated and often slip past even the most vigilant defenses. Our feature is a stringent proactive measure, akin to a car's seatbelt, designed to preemptively avert such situations.

User Autonomy: At Tap, we deeply value our users' autonomy and their ability to manage their digital safety. However, we also acknowledge that scammers' tactics can be complex and deceptive. The Anti-Scam Protection Feature is our firm stand against such threats, ensuring all users can safely navigate the digital banking landscape.

At Tap, we go beyond secure transactions. Our vision is to create a 'super app' that caters to everyone's needs. We prioritize the protection and well-being of all our customers, including our beloved pops and nans. Understanding the older generation's vulnerability to scams, we are committed to making digital banking accessible and safe for people of all ages. This feature is a significant step towards that vision.

Now, it's crucial to understand an often-overlooked concept outside the payments industry – the "fraud threshold." This measure ensures that financial platforms don't profit from fraudulent transactions. While a high fraud rate may inflate revenues temporarily, it risks losing critical payment services like GBP - Faster Payments and Euro SEPA transfers over time.

Weighing the pros and cons of our Anti-Scam Protection Feature provides a clearer perspective:

CONS:

• Potential displeasure amongst users of apps like Teamviewer, Anydesk, and others.
• Possible loss of a few users.
  

PROS:

• Protection of user life savings.
• Deterrence of scammers.
• Preservation of crucial payment relationships.
• Ensuring availability of payment rails for all our users.
  ‍

The Anti-Scam Protection Feature is an assertive measure, and we understand it may cause some inconvenience. But it's an essential step in our commitment to providing a safe, secure, and accessible digital banking environment for everyone.

Crypto ATMs have been around since 2013 and while their initial integration was slow, just 7 years later there are over 30,500 Bitcoin ATMs around the world. Providing a convenient means of buying and selling the world’s biggest digital currency, here we explore how crypto ATMs can propel crypto adoption.  

Cryptocurrencies have come a long way since the advent of Bitcoin in 2009, and with each passing year more firmly establish themselves in the traditional financial landscape. Bitcoin ATMs are here to support this drive and further establish the digital currency in everyday lives, around the world. And not just Bitcoin ATMs, there are also a number of other cryptocurrencies supported which we’ll cover in more detail below.

History of Bitcoin ATMs

The first Bitcoin ATM launched in October 2013 in a coffee shop in Vancouver, Canada. The coffee shop was one of roughly 20 in the area that accepted the digital currency at the time. Created by an American company Robocoin (which later closed in 2015) and a Vancouver-based company called Bitcoiniacs, the ATM used palm scans to authenticate users and allow for a maximum trade of $3,000 worth of Bitcoin a day.  

A month and a half later, another Bitcoin was installed in Bratislava, Slovakia, becoming Europe’s first Bitcoin ATM. A few months after that, Bitcoin ATMs started popping up in the United States, and adoption steadily increased. By 2015, there were a total of 329 crypto ATMs around the world, 500 in 2016, which doubled to 1,000 by 2017.  

The number of crypto ATMs continued to double each year, reaching a total of 6,400 in early 2020. At the start of 2021, there were just under 14,000 of these machines around the world, increasing quickly to over 30,000 by the end of the year. It’s safe to conclude that the power of crypto ATMs has been recognised, and continues to grow as adoption heads in the same direction.  

Crypto ATMs vs traditional ATMs

The most significant differences between the two are that the traditional ATMs are operated by a bank while crypto ATMs are connected to the relevant blockchain via the operator, these two can both accept and dispense cash.  

From a regulatory standpoint, crypto ATMs need to follow the AML/KYC (anti-money laundering and know your customer) regulations outlined by the jurisdiction they are operating in. This will also affect the limits of both deposits and withdrawals allowed by the machine, and in some regions, the ATM will also require a money transmitter licence.  

The downside to crypto ATMs is the fees. Fees can range from 7% - 25% depending on the operator, the location and the trade. While they allow for quick and easy purchase or sale of various cryptocurrencies with fewer KYC verifications necessary than on a traditional exchange, this does come at a price. However, the crypto ATMs also allow users to tap into the relevant network who might not otherwise have access to an online exchange or bank account.  

Of the over 30,500 crypto ATMs around the world, the following cryptocurrencies are currently supported:

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Lightning BTC (LBTC)
• Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• Dash (DASH)
• Litecoin (LTC)
• Zcash (ZEC)
• Monero (XMR)
• Dogecoin (DOGE)
• Tether (USDT)
• Ripple (XRP)
  

How crypto ATMs are fueling adoption

These decentralized crypto ATMs have seen a huge growth in popularity over the last 5 years, allowing users to easily exchange one fiat currency for a digital one. Providing an easy means of transaction in over 75 countries, crypto ATMs are facilitating a seamless means in which to travel - instead of exchanging one fiat for another, simply withdrawal the fiat at a crypto ATM on arrival.

While crypto ATMs and adoption go hand in hand, it might lend closer to a chicken/egg conversation (which came first) as both operations are fueled by the other. With more crypto ATMs, more people can gain access to the peer-to-peer based payment system thus increasing adoption, while growing adoption creates more of a demand for crypto ATMs.  

In the coming years, we will more than likely see the continued growth of crypto ATMs around the world, alongside a similar growth in crypto adoption as the digital currencies become more integrated into the financial sector and our daily lives.

Με το Μπίτκοιν (Bitcoin) να σημειώνει πρόσφατα νέο ρεκόρ αλλά και τις σημαντικές εξελίξεις στους κανονισμούς της ΕΕ για την κρυπτοαγορά να καθορίζουν τον χώρο, το 2025 εξελίσσεται σε μια συναρπαστική χρονιά για το crypto. Καθώς η τεχνολογία blockchain συνεχίζει να εξελίσσεται, τα θεμέλια που τέθηκαν τα προηγούμενα χρόνια αρχίζουν να εμφανίζουν σημαντικές εξελίξεις. Πρόκειται για έναν τομέα που αξίζει να παρακολουθείτε στενά, ιδίως στο πλαίσιο των ελληνικών τάσεων με τα κρυπτονομίσματα και της υιοθέτησης του blockchain στην Ελλάδα.

Παρακάτω, επισημαίνουμε πέντε κρυπτονομίσματα που πρέπει να παρακολουθήσετε το 2025. Κάποια καθιερωμένα, κάποια άλλα που μόλις αρχίζουν να κάνουν θραύση, και όλα συμβάλλουν στην ανάπτυξη της καινοτομίας του κρυπτονομίσματος και της ανάπτυξης του blockchain σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο.

‍

Bitcoin (BTC)

Η άνοδος του Μπιτκοΐν (Bitcoin) στα 80.000 δολάρια το 2024 δεν είναι τίποτα λιγότερο από εκπληκτική. Τώρα κατατάσσεται μεταξύ των 10 πιο πολύτιμων περιουσιακών στοιχείων παγκοσμίως, ο αντίκτυπος του Bitcoin επεκτείνεται πέρα από το κρυπτονόμισμα και στο ευρύτερο χρηματοπιστωτικό τοπίο. 

Εξετάζοντας τους παράγοντες που συνέβαλαν σε αυτή την εντυπωσιακή ανάπτυξη είναι η μείωση στο μισό τον Απρίλιο (το λεγόμενο Bitcoin halving), μειώνοντας την προσφορά νέων νομισμάτων προσθέτοντας έτσι σπανιότητα και τροφοδοτώντας τη ζήτηση. Επιπλέον, η εισαγωγή των Bitcoin ETFs επέτρεψε στους θεσμικούς επενδυτές να εισέλθουν στην αγορά υπό ρυθμιζόμενες συνθήκες, αυξάνοντας τη ρευστότητα και ενισχύοντας την εμπιστοσύνη της αγοράς.

Ως ηγέτης στo κρύπτο, το Bitcoin παραμένει ένας βασικός παίκτης που πρέπει να προσέξετε.

‍

Solana (SOL)

Η Solana συνεχίζει να κερδίζει έδαφος, με τον όγκο συναλλαγών να ξεπερνά πρόσφατα τα 8,33 δισεκατομμύρια δολάρια, γεγονός που αντανακλά το αυξανόμενο ενδιαφέρον για το δίκτυο. Αυτή η άνοδος, σε συνδυασμό με το αυξανόμενο Ανοικτό Ενδιαφέρον (Open Interest)  ύψους 2,51 δισ. δολαρίων, σηματοδοτεί ισχυρές δυνατότητες για το 2025. 

Η εστίαση του Solana στην επεκτασιμότητα και ο αυξανόμενος κατάλογος αποκεντρωμένων εφαρμογών (dapps) το τοποθετεί καλά για περαιτέρω υιοθέτηση της αλυσίδας μπλοκ στην Ελλάδα και πέραν αυτής. Καθώς οι περιπτώσεις χρήσης blockchain επεκτείνονται σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο, η υποδομή της Solana είναι έτοιμη να υποστηρίξει περισσότερες dapps, καθιστώντας την βασικό παίκτη στο μέλλον του blockchain. 

Εάν η τάση συνεχιστεί, η Solana θα μπορούσε να εδραιώσει τη θέση της ως σημαντική δύναμη στην καινοτομία του κρυπτονομίσματος.

‍

Avalanche (AVAX)

Το Avalanche, γνωστό ως «δολοφόνος του Ethereum», κερδίζει την προσοχή για την ταχύτητα και την αποτελεσματικότητά του. Ο ισχυρός μηχανισμός συναίνεσης που διαθέτει καθιστά την ανάπτυξη αποκεντρωμένων εφαρμογών (dApps) απρόσκοπτη και χειρίζεται εξαιρετικά καλά τις αλληλεπιδράσεις μεταξύ των αλυσίδων.

Με σημαντικές συνεργασίες και ενσωμάτωση σε θεσμικά δίκτυα, η Avalanche έχει δημιουργήσει μια σταθερή φήμη. Καθώς όλο και περισσότεροι προγραμματιστές και εταιρείες αναζητούν αποτελεσματικές λύσεις blockchain, η υιοθέτηση της Avalanche είναι πιθανό να αυξηθεί, διατηρώντας την στο προσκήνιο ως σημαντικό παίκτη στον χώρο του κρύπτο.

‍

Arbitrum (ARB)

Το Arbitrum, μια επίλυση Layer-2 που βασίζεται στο Ethereum, έχει αποκτήσει σημαντική έλξη στον κόσμο του DeFi. Παρέχοντας ταχύτερες και πιο αποδοτικές συναλλαγές, το Arbitrum βελτιώνει την αποτελεσματικότητα του δικτύου Ethereum, ενώ παράλληλα επωφελείται από το ισχυρό πλαίσιο ασφαλείας του.

Από την έναρξη λειτουργίας του, το αναπτυσσόμενο οικοσύστημα της Arbitrum έχει προσελκύσει όλο και περισσότερα dapps και ρευστότητα, γεγονός που θα μπορούσε να οδηγήσει σε περαιτέρω ζήτηση για το κουπόνι διακυβέρνησης, ARB. Καθώς η αγορά θερμαίνεται και η δραστηριότητα των altcoin αυξάνεται σε ανοδικές φάσεις, το ARB έχει τη δυνατότητα να αποκτήσει ακόμη μεγαλύτερη αξία.

‍

Render Token (RNDR)

Το Render Token έχει γίνει βασικός παίκτης στον τομέα της αποκεντρωμένης GPU rendering, υποστηρίζοντας τα πάντα, από την ανάπτυξη metaverse μέχρι τα οπτικά εφέ. 

Υποστηριζόμενο από μια ισχυρή κοινότητα, το έργο έχει ήδη επιδείξει ισχυρές επιδόσεις. Καθώς η ζήτηση για αποκεντρωμένες υπηρεσίες rendering συνεχίζει να αυξάνεται, το RNDR ξεχωρίζει ως ένα από τα αξιοθέατα, ειδικά με την ταχεία επέκταση της δημιουργίας ψηφιακού υλικού content.

‍

Πριν ξεκινήσετε

Πριν ασχοληθείτε με την τελευταία εξέλιξη της αλυσίδας μπλοκ, είναι σημαντικό να κατανοήσετε τα βασικά: ο χώρος του κρύπτο είναι ευμετάβλητος και αλλάζει γρήγορα, οπότε η προσωπική έρευνα είναι απαραίτητη. Καθώς η Ελλάδα συνεχίζει να ευθυγραμμίζεται με τους εξελισσόμενους κανονισμούς της ΕΕ για τα κρυπτονομίσματα, τα πλαίσια αυτά διαμορφώνουν την υιοθέτηση της τεχνολογίας blockchain στη χώρα. 

Για να ασχοληθείτε υπεύθυνα με το κρυπτονόμισμα, είναι ζωτικής σημασίας να επαληθεύετε τις πηγές σας, να κατανοείτε τις τεχνικές βάσεις και να ενημερώνεστε για τις ρυθμιστικές ενημερώσεις.

‍

Τελικές σκέψεις

Καθώς πλησιάζουμε το 2025, οι κανονισμοί για τα κρυπτονομίσματα γίνονται όλο και πιο σημαντικοί τόσο στην Ελλάδα όσο και σε όλη την ΕΕ, επηρεάζοντας το μέλλον της αγοράς. Οι κυβερνήσεις και οι υπεύθυνοι πολιτικής μελετούν τρόπους χρήσης της τεχνολογίας blockchain, με πρωτοβουλίες όπως το Παρατηρητήριο Blockchain της ΕΕ να προωθούν τη διεθνή υιοθέτηση.

Παράλληλα, όλο και περισσότερες επιχειρήσεις χρησιμοποιούν το blockchain για να βελτιώσουν τις λειτουργίες τους και να αυξήσουν τη διαφάνεια. Στην Ελλάδα, η υποδομή για κρυπτονομίσματα αναπτύσσεται γρήγορα, αντιμετωπίζοντας προκλήσεις όπως η επέκταση και η συνεργασία μεταξύ συστημάτων. Υπάρχει επίσης μεγάλη προσπάθεια για μείωση των περιβαλλοντικών επιπτώσεων, με στόχο την ανάπτυξη πιο βιώσιμων λύσεων. Καθώς το blockchain κερδίζει έδαφος, αυτές οι εξελίξεις αναμένεται να επηρεάσουν σημαντικά το μέλλον του κλάδου στη χώρα.
