Like with many purchases, people looking to buy cryptocurrency want three crucial things: they want the most bang for their buck, they want the transaction to be quick and easy, and they want to know they can keep the purchase private if they so choose. In the world of crypto, it can be tough to find a platform that provides it all. Many turn to an exchange like Coinbase or Kraken to make their crypto purchases, but these are centralized, custodial platforms—and they hold your private keys. 

For conscious crypto users who want a simple, secure, and decentralized path to crypto ownership, Ballet offers a clean, hassle-free alternative: the Buy function inside the Ballet Crypto app. You get simplicity, flexibility, and true self-custody—all in one app. In this article, we’ll break down the top 3 reasons you should buy cryptocurrency with the Ballet Crypto app so you can make a more informed decision. 

Streamlined Experience and Direct-to-Wallet Delivery

Buying a physical product in a store can be as simple as swiping your card or handing over some change, but buying crypto is a little more complex. Buying on an exchange means registering an account before you can even make a purchase. And if you want to move your funds to a wallet you control, you have to add another step, often jumping back and forth between platforms and navigating multiple interfaces to copy and paste wallet addresses between apps.

For many, especially beginners, it can be time-consuming, confusing, and a little intimidating—not to mention full of opportunities for error. Imagine making an account, paying network fees, and waiting for verification—just to realize you sent your crypto to the wrong address.

The Ballet Crypto app removes all that annoying friction. You don’t have to bounce between platforms and keep track of which address you’re sending to. Instead, simply select your Ballet wallet in the app, tap Buy, and choose your payment provider and payment method. Your payment will be securely processed by one of our trusted partners, and once payment is confirmed, your crypto is instantly deposited into your Ballet wallet, saving you time, effort, and confusion. The process is designed to feel intuitive and familiar, just like any everyday online transaction.

Choose from Multiple Trusted Providers  

When sending payments, you want the flexibility to pay how you want, but you also want to trust who you’re sharing your information with. That’s why Ballet partners with industry-leading fiat on-ramp partners MoonPay, Simplex, Transak and Alchemy Pay. These companies are among the most recognized and widely used payment gateways in the crypto space, trusted by millions of users across the world. They operate with strict regulatory compliance and have built strong reputations for safety, transparency, and ease of use.

The Ballet Crypto app fetches real-time quotes from multiple liquidity providers, ensuring you get the most competitive rates and lowest fees. You can pay with a credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or bank transfer, and you’ll see a transparent breakdown of fees before checkout, giving you the freedom to choose the best available price.

True Self-Custody, Built In

Crypto was founded on the ideas of decentralization and privacy. But when you buy crypto on an exchange—a centralized platform—it goes into a custodial wallet controlled by the exchange. This means the exchange—not you—own the private keys. While your account may show a balance and allow you to buy, sell, or trade, you don’t actually have full ownership of your crypto until you take the extra step to withdraw it to a wallet you control. And until you’ve done that, your funds remain at risk of platform outages, policy restrictions, or exchange failures.

True crypto ownership comes from holding your own private keys. Ballet’s private keys are never generated until you, the owner, transfer the funds out of your wallet. Ballet can’t track your activity or freeze your funds—even if they’re compelled to. When you buy crypto in the Ballet Crypto app, it’s delivered directly to your Ballet wallet, offline and in your full control from the moment it arrives.
