Crypto markets are volatile, and timing purchases is notoriously difficult. The solution is automating purchases using Dollar-Cost Average (DCA). We outline how this strategy reduces risks and how to set it up.

What is Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)?

DCA involves buying a fixed fiat amount (e.g., 1,000 JPY) of an asset at set intervals (daily or weekly), regardless of price fluctuations.

• When prices are high: You purchase fewer coins.
• When prices are low: You automatically purchase more coins.
• Goal: Flattens your average cost basis, shielding you from buying local market tops.

Advantages of Crypto DCA

• Emotional Stability: Removes the anxiety of timing the market.
• Low Start Requirements: Major brokerages support automatic recurring buys starting as low as 100 JPY daily.
• Passive Wealth Accumulation: The safest way to capture Bitcoin’s long-term macro trend.
