Cred, a micro-investing platform for cryptocurrency, today announced the initial rollout of its mobile app for iOS and Android. For its initial rollout, Cred is launching in California, Missouri, Massachusetts, and Montana with more states being introduced in the coming months.
Cred offers 13 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, EOS, Litecoin, Stellar, Monero, Dash, Komodo, Wax, Neblio, and ZenCash. Investors can select which token they are interested in investing in, with a minimum investment amount of $10 and a maximum of $2,000 per month.
Cred is available for download via the Apple app store and Google Play store.
Cred’s three easy ways to invest include:
- Round up everyday purchases: Investors can round up the amount they spend on everyday purchases to the nearest $1, $2 or $5 and invest the extra money in cryptocurrency. For example, if an investor who rounds up to the nearest $1 spends $3.55 on an iced coffee, the Cred platform will automatically add the $.45 to a queue. Once the queue reaches the minimum investment amount of $10, Cred will automatically invest the money into cryptocurrency.
- Setup recurring investments: Investors can set up weekly or monthly recurring investments into cryptocurrency. Transactions are capped at $2,000 per month to start, adding peace of mind for first-time investors averse to spending large sums at this stage.
- One time investment: Investors can simply make a one-time transaction.

There’s an obvious gap in the market: people aren’t investing in cryptocurrency because they think it’s too complicated and complex. Cred creates a tangible space for people to take advantage of cryptocurrency at any level of experience without having to be an expert. Our platform is clear, quick and educational – helping us reach our mission of democratizing cryptocurrency and bringing it to the masses.”[/perfectpullquote]
