FAQs

What is Dogecoin (DOGE)?

Dogecoin is a decentralized (peer-to-peer) cryptocurrency that utilizes the DOGE meme, featuring a Shiba Inu dog as a mascot. At first, this crypto meme coin was started as a parody, aiming to be a fun and accessible digital currency. But soon, it amassed a vast and devoted community that pushed this coin beyond its intended purpose as a mere joke. Today, DOGE has become a cultural phenomenon, transcending its initial purpose and turning into a recognized and traded asset.

Yes, eligible enthusiasts can trade DOGE through Spot Trading against other crypto and fiat assets. The available trading pairs include:

What are the fees for buying DOGE at CEX.IO? 

Purchasing DOGE at CEX.IO, as well as any other exchange, might involve fees. This depends on the selected pathway (e.g., Spot Trading or Instant Buy) or payment method. Keep in mind that each funding service has its own fee structure, which might include a fixed cost and/or a percentage of the transaction amount. It's always a good idea to review the CEX.IO Fee Schedule before purchasing to understand the applicable charges and choose the most cost-effective solution.
