How do I find the best places to buy WHALE?

Cryptocurrency exchanges offer similar services, but differ in a few key ways – mainly fees, the range of cryptos available and payment methods. You can use our table to compare the features of popular cryptocurrency exchanges available in Canada to help you choose the one that's right for you.

Some other factors you may want to consider are customer support, user reviews, ease of use and whether or not the exchange is registered with a local regulator. This information can be found by clicking on the exchange name in the table which will take you to its review page.

What will I need to buy WHALE?

To create an account on any cryptocurrency exchange you will need an email address. Some exchanges may also ask for a phone number and photo ID, so it's a good idea to have those ready.

An increasing number of cryptocurrency exchanges will ask to verify your identity before you can deposit funds and start trading WHALE.

  • This process is known as Know Your Customer (KYC) and usually requires photo ID and a webcam or smartphone. You may also need to prove your address by uploading a copy of a recent bank statement or utility bill.
  • Some exchanges allow you to deposit and trade cryptocurrencies without passing KYC, but they will not allow you to transfer local currency from your bank account. So if you are planning on purchasing WHALE with your local currency then you will need to pass KYC.
  • Once you have verified your identity, it is a good idea to enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) before depositing any funds. This will increase the security of your account and help keep your funds safe.

What are the best ways to buy WHALE?

Once you've created an account, you will need to deposit funds to buy WHALE with. You can either deposit local currency from a bank account or credit card, or transfer cryptocurrency from another exchange or wallet. Here are some popular ways to buy WHALE:

  • Bank account: Transfers from local bank accounts are usually free, but you will need to double-check this with the exchange you choose – this information can be found in our table by clicking on 'view details'.
  • Credit or debit card: Linking a card to your account is another convenient way to top up your account, but be aware that it usually attracts an additional fee. An advantage, though, is that you can use a card to make instant purchases or set up a recurring purchase.
  • Cryptocurrency: You can usually purchase WHALE by trading it for another cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or a stablecoin. This varies between exchanges though, so you will need to search for WHALE on the spot market to see what cryptocurrencies it can be traded for.

What is the easiest way to buy WHALE?

The easiest way to buy WHALE is by placing an 'instant buy' order to purchase it for a fixed price but not all crypto exchanges offer this feature.

Alternatively, you can open a trade on the spot market which allows you to set your own price – this is the most common way to purchase cryptocurrency. Using the instant buy feature is straightforward but typically more expensive than using the spot market.

Before buying WHALE, you may want to check the market conditions. To help you decide if now is the right time to buy, you can take a look at our all-time high tool to get an idea of how the price of WHALE has been performing recently.

Best WHALE wallets to store your WHALE

Is WHALE a good investment?

Like all good investments, it is crucial to perform due diligence. This is exceptionally important when investing in altcoins. If you are looking to invest in WHALE tokens here are a few things to consider:
  • State of NFTs: NFTs are a very young innovation in the crypto space. Although dating back to 2012, it wasn't until 2019 that NFTs started to gain traction. As popular as NFTs have become, caution is necessary when investing in new spaces.
  • Use cases: WHALE tokens offer several use cases that provide utility beyond its equivalent dollar value. The tokens can be used to buy NFTs, rent digital real-estate and, as mentioned above, receive direct consultation from WhaleShark, one of the largest investors of NFTs. According to the WHALE whitepaper, the tokens are also expected to be used for future governance.
  • Token distribution: Similar to Bitcoin, WHALE has a limited total supply. Only 10 million tokens will ever be minted. At the time of writing, more than 6 million are in public circulation. If demand increases, a low token supply may bolster token prices.
