The UAE is rightfully considered one of the most developed eastern states in the world. This situation applies not only to the high standard of living in the country, but also to the development of bitcoin and the virtual assets. The UAE has consistently taken steps towards progress by providing a framework for the regulation of cryptocurrencies in accordance with local laws. A friendly environment for the emergence of agencies, exchanges and devices for trading digital currency has significantly brought the country closer to the honorary title of a ‘blockchain capital’.

The UAE considers cryptocurrency and bitcoin in particular a high-risk commodity, which is why they seek to provide bank users with total security. In this regard, in order to competently and consciously track the movements of cryptocurrencies, three large organizations are involved in regulation in the UAE: FSRA (Financial Services Regulatory Authority), SCA (Securities and Commodities Authority) and DFSA (Dubai Financial Services Agency).

The first step in the world of cryptocurrency is the choice of a good exchange service. Itez is the official platform on the basis of which it is possible to purchase digital currency by following the step-by-step instructions

In order to buy bitcoin, it is not necessary to register on the Itez website. In a handy calculator, you can quickly calculate the cost of BTC based on the amount you plan to use for payment. The smallest purchase amount in dollar terms is 30 USD. By the way, the same applies to the euro - the starting purchase threshold starts at €30. Well, in our instructions, as promised, we will go through all the stages of purchase BTC for dollars step by step.

2.

After converting the currency to BTC, you will see the final result in the "You Get" field and on the "Buy" button. Click the button and enter your email address in the following window.

3.

Verify your email with a 6-digit code sent to the previously indicated e-mail and click the "Verify" button.

4.

Specify the purchase amount in the Itez dialog box. Copy the recipient address - your bitcoin wallet - from the “Accept” section.

Important: you should not manually copy the bitcoin wallet address. The blockchain system does not give any information about bitcoin addresses problems, and if an error occurs during manual entry, all the buyer's funds may be lost.

After pushing the “Card details” button, enter the required card information: card number and expiration date, the cardholder name and CVC-code — three numbers on the back of the card.

7.

Push the “Pay” button and enter the one-time bank code in the following window. As soon as the transaction receives 6 confirmations in the blockchain network, your bitcoin wallet balance will be top-up.

Important: the transaction will wait for confirmations for time. After six network confirmations, bitcoin will be on your e-wallet; when buying with Itez it will take for about 15 minutes. This is a very good speed for the Bitcoin network since transactions in the most popular blockchain network are somewhat slower than in other networks due to its properties and high load.

8.

The transaction will first wait for confirmations from the blockchain network.

After six confirmations, the BTC networks will be yours for good; when buying from Itez, this will happen on average within 15 minutes.

This is a very good indicator for the Bitcoin network, since transactions are somewhat slower in the most popular blockchain network than in other networks, due to its design features and high workload.

Banks

Payment options

Each of them is loyally set to cooperate with the digital assets, which makes buying bitcoin a simple and convenient investment tool.
