Cryptocurrencies Made Easy with Maya

Cryptocurrencies Made Easy with Maya

Crypto is becoming more and more popular these days. Some people have become instant millionaires, and some have lost money. Although it’s kinda difficult to understand, crypto is indeed the future. The unpredictability and the risk involved excites many.

My go-to e-wallet, PayMaya, has evolved into an all-in-one money app called Maya. Aside from the rebranding, Maya is now more than just an e-wallet, you can now also save, borrow, and invest with Maya Savings, Maya Credit, and Crypto.

I’ve been into crypto since 2020 but sad to say, I haven’t become a millionaire, yet. Mainly because I still lack knowledge about cryptocurrencies and their ecosystem. What I love about Maya’s crypto feature is that it has a learning hub or section within the app which also showcases the latest news in the world of crypto as well as crypto basics that make it understand for newbies like me. 

At Maya, you can start investing in crypto for as low as P1. You can buy, sell, or HODL until your investment goes up to the moon. Here’s what you need to do if you want to start with crypto.

  1. DYOR – Do Your Own Research. Although crypto is readily available in Maya, it only has the ten most popular cryptocurrencies available for purchase – BTC, ETH, LINK, ADA, MATIC, DOT, UNI, SOL, USDT, and QNT. Study their background and know when to invest. Maya Crypto has a Learn tab which should give you plenty of materials to guide your crypto journey. 
  2. BUY – Tap “buy” on the bottom on the bottom of the screen, then select the desired cryptocurrency

3. INVEST – Input the desired Philippine Peso (PHP) amount you want to spend. You will see the equivalent cryptocurrency value based on an estimated market price. You can buy crypto for as low as P1 so you don’t have to invest anything above your budget. Then, tap “Next” on the upper right hand of the screen. 

PRO TIP: You can even get updated on the pricing of certain cryptocurrencies so you can easily decide on your next move! Just tap the alert icon at the bottom left of your crypto screen, choose the crypto you’d like to monitor, and select the type of update you’d like to receive. 

4. CONFIRM – Confirm Purchase tab will pop up. On this tab, you will see the amount in PHP you will be spending and the amount of cryptocurrency you will be receiving through this transaction. Once you are okay with the details, you may confirm your purchase and slide to buy.

Selling crypto is just as easy as buying them.

  1. Tap “Sell” on the bottom of the screen, then select the desired cryptocurrency.  
  2. Select a percentage value to sell a part of your currently owned asset. You will see the equivalent PHP value based on an estimated market price. Then tap “Next” on the upper right hand of the screen.  
  3. A Confirm Sale tab will pop up. On this tab, you will see the amount of cryptocurrency you will be selling and the amount of PHP you will be receiving through this transaction. Once you are okay with the details, you may confirm your purchase and slide to sell.

I can’t show any screenshots as of now as I don’t intend to sell them yet. Let me just show you some other features of the new and improved Maya.

With Maya, you can also grow your money faster with its Savings feature that offers a 6% introductory interest rate – one of the highest offered in the market. Maya Savings is powered by its very own Maya Bank, Inc., a licensed digital bank regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.

Aside from Maya’s new features, you can also have different ways to manage and enjoy your money at the same time win points and vouchers.

The updates aren’t over yet. Maya also noted some of its upcoming features including the upcoming “send via @username” and Dark Mode features. With the “username” feature you don’t need to memorize mobile numbers or account numbers, simply send money to your loved ones using their username, just like tagging them via social media.
