The ultimate guide to Crypto Platforms in Singapore (for beginners)

On my second opinion piece in Seedly, I'd like to start fresh and write about my favourite topic - Cryptocurrency.

I noticed that there are several questions on the different platforms that are available to trade, stake, HODL and even mine crypto in Singapore.

Links are hyperlinked for everyone's convenience! I have also listed bonuses that you can get when you sign up for the first time.

Do note that I have linked some of my personal affiliate links to these platforms. I would like to be transparent on what you can earn, and what I stand to gain.

Further down the road, I will be providing guides on the following:

1. How to use DeFi Protocols?

2. How to deposit or withdraw Crypto?

3. Best coins to avoid high transaction fees?

NOTE: The list is not ranked in any order, and take note to DYOR, DYODD and not risk more than what you can afford to lose. I am not a financial advisor and this platform is only to provide you with a source of information for your research.

Other alternative ways to earn more Crypto (NFTS, Games & Collectibles)

• NFT

For the newcomers, stands for Non-Fungible Token, and means a token representing something unique. It is like an art piece: there will only be one original copy due to smart contract. You can copy it, there will only be one original piece.

KnownOrigin, Mintable, Rarible and OpenSea are all great examples of such marketplaces.

• Games & Collectibles

Majority of games run on a blockchain, using NFTs to create unique and rare in-game assets. Not easy to earn crypto this way, have to play a bit before getting good items that you can sell, but if you find a game that you like, it can be as fun as playing Maplestory when you were young!

Examples of games are MyCryptoHeroes, EverDragons, Axie Infinity, Decentraland and Brave Frontier Heroes.

Some aren't even games at all, just collectables that you can buy, trade and earn. Examples are CryptoKitties and Clovers

I hope that this list provides you with an insight into the various Crypto platforms in Singapore!

This list is non-exhaustive and I hope to add to it in the near future!
