VALR is really changing how people use crypto in Africa. It's very easy to use, even if you're new to it. They have many different coins, low fees, and strong security. You can also earn money by saving or trading futures and using DeFi features. Their customer support is fast and helpful. They keep improving, and you can tell. It’s one of the best crypto apps I’ve used. I highly recommend it!

There are very limited amount of currencies to trade compared to others. A big negative for me is that the app locks the sale of certain currencies after a big gain. eg: a coin i invested in made 30 percent overnight and when I tried to sell i got a pop up saying that the sale and purchase of this coin is currently un available. BIG RED FLAG. is this going to happen every time I make profits? it honestly feels a bit scammy. the whole point of De-fi is that I have control over my money. .

Hi Tim, Thank you for writing to us. Through our partnership with Coinbase, we leverage their listing process. Once listed on Coinbase, we can consider listing the coin on VALR. Please can you send us screenshots of the error message when attempting to sell to help@valr.com in order for us to investigate further.
