Dollar-cost averaging in one sentence

Dollar-cost averaging means buying a fixed dollar amount on a recurring schedule instead of investing everything at once.

In crypto, that can help users avoid turning every buy into a timing decision. It does not guarantee a good average price.

When DCA can fit

DCA can fit users who want gradual exposure, a defined budget, and less day-to-day chart watching. It is especially useful when a user already understands the asset and wants a repeatable accumulation plan.

What can still go wrong

A DCA plan can keep buying while prices fall, skip because funding is missing, or fail because venue and network conditions change. Users should size plans conservatively and keep liquidity needs in mind.
