Ethereum (ETH) is a digital currency and a system that enables the creation, management, and execution of decentralized programs (DApps) through the use of blockchain."

Ethereum can be purchased on crypto exchanges on the Internet. To do so, you need to create an account with the exchange, verify your identity (usually by uploading a copy of your ID), and finally deposit money via bank transfer or credit card. "

Ethereum can be bought with PayPal at a few providers. These are usually CFD platforms where you can trade many other assets besides Ethereum, such as stocks and options."

You can buy Ethereum on some CFD platforms. However, with many of these providers, the investment is not in Ethereum itself, but in a CFD which only reflects the price development of Ethereum. The platforms must specify when buying whether the investment is in Ethereum itself or in CFDs.

A cryptocurrency exchange is a marketplace where buyers and sellers trade digital assets. The exchange mediates buyers and sellers with each other without them having to know each other personally.
