Step-by-step buying guide

  1. 01 Choose the best active venue. Compare the live venues first so you buy on the exchange with the best combination of price, spread, and liquidity for River.
  2. 02 Decide between market and limit. A market order is reasonable if you want immediate execution and the spread stays tight, but a limit order still gives more control.
  3. 03 Verify the account before funding. Complete the exchange verification flow, enable two-factor authentication, and confirm withdrawal settings before you send money.
  4. 04 Buy only the amount you planned. The current market is balanced, so keep the order size aligned with the asset’s current range instead of chasing the move.
  5. 05 Move long-term holdings to self-custody. Keep only active trade funds on exchange and move long-term holdings to self-custody after the purchase.

Order style guide

Best for speed

Market order

Use this when you want immediate execution and the spread is already tight on the current active market venue set.

Best for control

Limit order

Use a limit order when River is near the upper band or when the 24h swing makes slippage more expensive.

Best for storage

Self-custody

Once the order settles, transfer the asset to self-custody so the long-term holding is not tied to exchange risk.
