A recurring buy allows you to purchase a digital asset at an ongoing timeframe of your choosing. By setting recurring buys, you can easily dollar cost average the crypto market by setting and forgetting orders that automatically fire.

There are a few reasons you might want to set a recurring buy as opposed to lump-sum investing. The first and primary reason is that lump-sum investing can carry more risk in a volatile market.

Invest everything at the top of a bull cycle and you’re subject to short-term downside volatility. If you invest with recurring orders, your purchase price for a given asset is more stable—allowing for steadier, more predictable growth.

In short,  recurring buys are useful for a more hands-off investment strategy and as a hedge against market volatility. By spreading out your orders over time, you can steadily build your portfolio regardless of market conditions.

Reasons you may want to set a recurring buy

  1. You’re curious about an asset but want to invest slowly and see where the market takes it.
  2. You want to invest a lot in a particular asset but you don’t have the funds all at once.
  3. You’re passionate about investing in a particular asset but don’t have time to monitor the market—you’d rather set it and forget it.
  4. You want to take advantage of DCA investing, otherwise known as Dollar Cost Averaging to hedge against short-term volatility.

Instead of trying to outsmart the volatile crypto market, you can consistently buy more crypto at an average price over time without letting emotion rule your investment strategy.
