Blox Cryptocurrency Exchange
BLOX is a Dutch crypto exchange with a penchant for Bitcoin (BTC). At BLOX, they like to see other people share that love. How do they do that? By keeping crypto and bitcoin as simple as possible. That’s the mission. BLOX knows how to make bitcoin as understandable and accessible as possible for the general public, which is what they are committed to daily.
BLOX is the crypto app of Nijmegen-based BTC Direct. When BTC Direct was founded in 2013, buying Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies was a tall order. It was difficult, slow and with intermediaries. This is how BLOX was eventually created. The childishly simple app is fast, clear, and easy for everyone. With little to no cryptocurrency experience, you can get started immediately with Blox’s mobile app. The power of BLOX is nicely illustrated with the 4 points below.

BLOX-app features
Buying cryptocurrencies via BLOX is possible with the BLOX app, downloadable from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The BLOX app features can be found under the four tabs at the bottom of the app:
Quotes. Under this tab, you can follow the crypto market and all prices in real time. Users can also buy or sell relevant digital currency by clicking on one of the cryptocurrencies. You can buy cryptocurrency for as little as €1. So whether you can and want to miss a lot or little, you can go to the BLOX app.
Safe.
Under this heading in the BLOX app, the total value of your portfolio can be found and stored securely. The majority of all cryptocurrencies under management at BLOX are in cold storage. As a result, all private keys are generated and stored offline. The digital assets can only be moved with the permission of several people. BLOX applies the highest security standards so users can act with peace of mind.
Earn.
This is an affiliate program of BLOX where users can invite friends while both parties earn money. Your friends receive a starting credit of € 10, – while you get 20% of the trading costs they incur. And that with every transaction.
Setting
. Under the settings tab, you can change your password and contact the support team. On this page, you can also find trading risks, privacy statements, and frequently asked questions.
BLOX website
It is useful to mention that at BLOX, it is only possible to trade via the app, not via the BLOX website. Nevertheless, BLOX does, of course, have a website. At the top of the BLOX website are ‘buy’, ‘price’ and ‘knowledge’. Under the buy tab, you will be redirected to a page where the app (Apple and Google) can be downloaded. At a price the price of all 37 cryptocurrencies can be found on BLOX, just as users of the app are used to. The knowledge tab contains crypto and blockchain-related terms, including detailed explanations. When you invest in Bitcoin for the first time as a (starting) investor, you still want to know what you are dealing with. The BLOX website knowledge base is ideal for boosting your crypto knowledge.
The BLOX website also has pages that redirect to, for example, the social media channels, a vacancy page, a contact page, and the partner program. The latter is suitable for influencers, YouTubers, bloggers and publishers. In short, you can enter into this affiliate program when you have a certain reach. Below you can see the benefits that partners receive when they send visitors to the BLOX app.

In addition, the BLOX website is also offered in English (BLOX international) and Spanish (BLOX España). There is also a Belgian website, which does not differ from the Dutch BLOX website.
BLOX dashboard
BLOX is all about simplicity; this is also the case with the BLOX dashboard. The BLOX dashboard is made for the fast, simple and safe trading that BLOX stands for. For each of the 37 cryptocurrencies on the BLOX app, a chart of the price of the past hour, the last 24 hours, the previous seven days, the past month and the past year can be seen. That was it. It is a simplistic interface that still provides essential information and options. BLOX does not have advanced dashboards, as can be seen with many other large crypto exchanges. For real ‘trading’, you better look beyond BLOX.
BLOX payment methods
At BLOX, they accept all the following payment methods when you want to deposit money into your BLOX account:
- Ideal
- Bank transfer (SEPA)
- Bancontact
- Credit card (Visa and Mastercard)
If you choose to use iDEAL, Bancontact or bank transfer (SEPA), this will not entail any additional costs. When using a credit card, this is different. In that case, BLOX charges a surcharge of 1.5%, which will always be stated before the final payment.
BLOX trading fees
The BLOX trading or transaction fees are very obvious and relatively low. It’s very simple; the BLOX trading fee is 1% with each order. This percentage will not change at a time, which sometimes happens with some exchanges. In addition, the transaction costs are always displayed before you confirm the order. There are, therefore, no unexpected and unpleasant costs.
